Pecanny in the Coop

[hosedragger]

Coons love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches filled with rid pellet rat poison. Just make a few sandwiches and put them on a paper plate around your home. Make sure you put them where dogs can't get them. It's a good last supper for a coon. The best part is they eat the sandwich and go off and die somewhere else.

Did you top off the run with a cover to prevent predator assaults from above? I've heard coons love marshmallows too.

Thanks Hosedragger. It is legal in Arkansas to take out menace wildlife that destroy livestock or gardens, ect. I sat up the last two nites with my 12 ga. til about 12:30 and he didn't show. I baited the area with sardines. Indeed this morning he had came and eaten the sardines, there was coon scat around. I will offer him a sandwich tonight. I want to be able to get some new babies for my smaller coop, and I won't feel comfortable even with the modifications for the little guys. I've been told by a cousin that they will dig to get them too. I want them gone!

Indeed. The top run on the sides is roofing tin. The top itself is tin, and the back is completely made of tin.

Thanks Drumstick Diva!

Two nights after fortifying my coop with hog pen wire, the coon has showed up consecutively, but not even a dent has the coon knocked in "Fort Chicken"!!

That is how you have to do it!! Fort Chicken! They will always be prowling. Every night they will look for a chicken dinner as long as you have them on your property. So you have to outsmart them for ever. Great job!!

Thanks TwoCrows!! I figure now I won't need to use poison. The hog pen fencing and the roofing tin appear to be just too much for da coons!!

Part of our property is woods, and the property behind us goes into nothing but woods for miles, so poisoning them would be of little value, because there would just be more... Kind of kin to trying to kill all the sharks in the ocean.
