My dog killed mother found her body about 5 ft. from chicken coop.Now I got to bag up mother and relocate this little guy far away from my house.

I’ve seen a mother with 3 babies before. I have no clue how many they can have each time though.

I'm pretty sure there is at least one more baby out there.My dog won't come inside he is searching for something.

If you cannot find it before your dog does I would just let Mother Nature take it’s course. I hope my two dogs would do the same but mine (miniature schnauzer and a 1/2miniature schnauzer 1/2 Portuguese Water Dog) would probably run the other way lol. Good luck either way!

If my dog finds anymore tonight I'm sure he will do them in.He wasnt to happy with me when I put the one baby in bucket and took it out to my truck.

Relocating is a no no! They become someone else's problem then. My understanding is that the gestation period is only 12 - 14 DAYS and they can have as many as 20 - although they don't all make it to the pouch. They have disease and even their feces has disease that can transfer to humans. there is nothing cute and cudly about this vermin.

Funny, that is a pretty good description of Humans...

Actually, Opossums have an abnormal body temperature that makes it hard for them to catch or carry most diseases that humans get, they eat ticks that spread lyme's disease, and are resistant (though not immune) to rabies.
