The coon population seems to be lower this past year here. I wonder if the city is trapping them.......
There was an outbreak of skunk rabies maybe 2 years ago. Maybe the trapping of them thinned the coons out too.
Several years ago I had an accidental rooster.....
I regimes him along with a couple pullets to a friend of hubby's. I even built a small coop for him. If course they were way out in the country. Coyotes took them out, destroying the coop to do so as well as a killing a yearling bull and injuring another.
They literally chewed through the siding on the coop to get the birds.
Such a sad end for those birds.
