Ha! Raccoons were probably living in your neighbor's crawl space! They are opportunists and have adapted to urban settings. Better than rats, though, in my opinion. My dogs eat a lot of fallen plums in the summer. They like them dried out, then it's like plum jerky. Enjoy them so much, I hate to clean them up. I have to cut back on their food because they get fat off of the fruit. Apple trees are in the chicken yard. They eat a lot of those when the ripe ones fall.
You have to be made of asbestos to live in Redding. (I'm surprised your H-E-double hockey sticks made it through the auto censor! I always get ****).
My Wyandotte did fine in the hotter temps (upper 90s), but she's gone now. I have new blue pullet that I hope does as well. My poor little bantam Cochin gets HOT. All those feathers!
