Rocky Racoon

Okay. I’m in the house, looking out the kitchen window and I see a raccoon shimmy it’s way into the chicken run.

The chickens were all away in their “tractor” so they were safe.

So I run out back yelling, clapping my hands, anything to make noise so it will leave. But instead of escaping way it came in, the raccoon runs into the hen house.

No problem. Right? I’ll just close the chicken door in the front, open the people door in the back, and it will leave. I help it out by banging on the walls and yelling. I can yell pretty loud when I need to.

I looked inside. And it was gone. (picture #1)

So I shut the door and go back into the people house. Lucy, who was watching from inside, says “I never saw it leave”. I WAS going to debate her, but instead I decided to look again. So back to the coop I go. I open up the people door again. Look inside. Again. No raccoon.

But then I hear a little shuffle up high. And there, trying to make itself disappear into the pointy top of the A-frame... (picture #2)

Anyway. He’s gone for now.

I guess I’ll spend tomorrow reinforcing the fort...

I have dealt with them soooo many times. DW is afraid of them but I see them as pets,,,, Of course I treat them with respect, and am aware of rabies potential. That is why I say, treat with respect, and caution.
You are the first person I encountered using the "Rocky" besides me. I of course don't own it, but would like to share it with everyone.
