Sorry for your loss

nice job catching the 'coon, though! I've not had time to pick up a trap, but i did set some heavy rocks around where he got into the coop. Looks like he couldn't figure out how to get back in last night, prints are everywhere along the fence except inside.

Oh no, sorry for your loss. We have Orpingtons and they are sweet girls. We saw something at our house last night that was either a coon or skunk near our coops. It ran away when we tried to get a closer look. We will be setting a live trap. Put a honeybun in a live trap and you should get it!

Glad whatever it was didn't get any of your birds! this is the one thing i don't like about having chickens. they're so prone to predators at night.
