@NanaKat Sorry you had some of your birds taken. Have you noticed any signs of the coyotes coming back?

Thank you. We found one dropping marker this morning...so going to set traps along the outside of that pen to see what snaps.
Still waging the war on rats...49 down with 51 shells. Hubby is calling me Annie Oakley.

Found another juvenile bird eaten in one of the outside coops. This pen has a complete hoop cover and chain link fencing and holds my Columbian Wyandotte breeders and keeper birds.
We know it is not an owl this time.
The other two pens where this happened at night, did not have screened covers...so we were thinking an owl. Now we think this animal is either a possum or a raccoon.
Going to set up the live trap now too. We use cat food or tuna and that works for both.
I'm very tempted to sit on guard in one of the pick-ups until midnight for the nighttime raiders and then beginning at 5 am for the early morning raiders. will see what we get in the next couple of nights first.
