Are possums a danger to chickens? I know they are beneficial to the ecosystem and I don't even think they are that ugly (well, a little ugly), but they do not belong in my yard! Fenris alerted to one, I think he'd have tried to maybe kill it himself. Got it to play dead until husband could make it true. Big thing - about 15 to 20 lbs.

I would use caution whenever dealing with animals around your chickens - including possums and raccoons. We have never had an issue with them because they are well-fed around here, and we leave scraps outside for them (away from the house). One time a huge possum was digging under our chicken coop. Hubby wanted to shoot it right away, but I didn't think it was going after chickens, and it was terrified. So I hit it with a broom and chased it away from our house. Have not seen him again. Same thing happened with a fox that was right in my front yard with the chickens. I prefer to scare them away before resorting to shooting them. I don't carry the gun with me everywhere I go, anyway. We have a lot of wild visitors. Love them.
 
Does are have any interest in the following boys? If not, they will go on Facebook and then in the freezer if nobody wants them.

*Big, light blue/splash orpington
*Splash silkie
*Silkie feathered lavender ameraucana

Just let me know. I'm trying to cut back just a little more on the boys before winter.

I have a few silkie chicks too, about a month or so old that I'll be weeding through.
