DH just got home and said he saw a "HUGE" raccoon at the top of our driveway...it was heading away from the chickens...I guess Cash was keeping a close eye on it...
That said I have to get my coop more coon-proof...I have three types of wire and my run doors are hard for me to open, LOL but it's not enough...I'm thinking about another layer of wire and electric solar charger with electric wire...does anyone have photos of their set-ups?
I don't want to skimp on my solar charger--I have way too many birds that are worth too much to me to risk being cheap on this...
so if anyone has any recommendations on kinds to buy or stay away from please let me know...
ARRRGHHH!
I know we've had them in the area but after the fire, there were none...and now they're back in the area....we just mowed the front pasture too so there's no tall grass or anything by my coop...and it's going to be close to freezing tonight but you better bet I'm sleeping with the window cracked & one eye open! Hubby's got the .250 Savage ready to go!
