I hate this and I'm so sorry for your baby. I had a fox run across my front yard this afternoon and I am scared too.

Just found out that i have a trap-experienced raccoon lurking around my house. He managed to eat the peanut-butter two times out of the trap without triggering the door. Must be the same one on which i broke the handle of my scrubbing-brush.
Scary times! Safe night to all chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry!

Set up a trap for that horrible, nasty creature. Also am getting a game camera so I can see what it was. I will for sure hear a scream in the night from the creature. I put beef and chicken meat by the trap. I took pictures of all the ducks, just in case it might be their last photo I hope not.

Patches, the one that got hurt /\

Peanut butter worked best as bait for me so far. I just smear it on the trigger plate so that the 'coon has to lick it off. That usually triggers the door. Unless you have a bear that some idi*t has caught and released in your area. 'coons are very quick learners…
