Thanks for the tips. Great Advice. Will try and take some pictures tomorrow. I have seen a fox in my backyard before so that could definitely be the culprit. Thank you.It could be a fox or skunk. They're both great diggers. I would bury that hardware cloth 6+inches deep and tightly around that pipe and the put some heavy, flat rocks on top so they can't be rolled off. You can use some 18ga bailing wire to 'sew' that harware cloth around the pipe and then twist it so everything is tight to the pipe. The way I have this pictured is the pipe is just in the way of the hardware cloth but the pipe itself isn't a pathway into the run. Correct? Pictures would help immensely.
It was about three inches wide.I'm curios...how big was the hole that the animal dug??
Well that is certainly not a fox or a skunk, more than likely a mink or a weasel.It was about three inches wide.
Yuck, is there anything that repels weasels.Well that is certainly not a fox or a skunk, more than likely a mink or a weasel.
Well not that I know of, just make sure you don't have any holes they can get through. I will go so far as to say no holes over 3/4 inches. If they keep trying to dig in I would get a hold of the game warden to see if they can trap it of if you are allowed to since it is trying to get at your chickens. There are set trapping seasons for your state I'm sure so check with them and explain whats going onYuck, is there anything that repels weasels.
