Update on my neighbor's raccoon...
So, yesterday I didn't let the my remaining 3 5-6 month olds out until mid-morning with the plans of putting them back in the coop mid-afternoon. Should be way outside hunting times for coons. WRONG!!

At 1:00 straight up, I hear a ruckus, look out the window to see the rotten little varmint running off with my white cockerel. R U KIDDING ME?!?

I race out the front door to chase him but wasn't fast enough. By the time I got outside I was only able to see him going over the fence into "his" backyard with my baby. Now Alice is gone too.



I was sooooo upset!! My girlfriend and DH did their best to console me.

Last evening we decided to live trap the coon on our own and take him out into the country and release him on the QT. I planned to lok today for a trap I can barrow. Low and behold, 12:15 this afternoon and I hear the chicken alarms go off. (The 2 remaining birds are on lockdown with the 6-week olds now.) I run out back and there he is...back for thirds. REALLY!?! It's broad daylight for Pete's sake.

I chased him off and went straight to my feed store to get a trap.



Now I'm ready for the little so and so.

Mine lay all over but usually in the same place each day.
White to white breeds true.
Very nice set up!!
You may not be dealing with spradle leg. Do the legs want to stick out in front or out to the sides? To the sides is spradle leg. Tape usually works in 3 or 4 days. I don't know of any help for the ones that want to stick out in front. Hope it's okay!
Nystatin worked well for me.
Wow! Great story!!

What a brave roo you have!!
