So many bators and chickies! I've changed my plans a bit and will be waiting until at least May before I start my incubator. There is a squirrel, mouse, chipmunk, or rat that has developed a series of tunnels under and through the concrete floor of my coop. The weather won't allow me to repair it until May. Whatever it is, it has not gone after the adult chickens. It's stolen food and maybe eggs. I keep filling and covering the holes and they just find a new spot to come through. My deep litter has been destroyed.
Because my coop is in the barn I will probably have to move the whole flock out to a temporary coop this spring and rebuild the whole floor with some hardware cloth embedded. Ugh.
Believe it or not, red squirrels will do the same...
