For a second year I have a total infestation of ground squirrels, who previously stripped my entire garden, but who have now invaded my large chicken run. Although it is fenced and covered over, it is on uneven ground and under trees, which make it virtually impossible to make secure....they always find a way to get in. Now I find that they go into the coop after laying and somehow boost an egg down the ramp, and either out through the fence or eaten on the ground. I'm so frustrated!
 
There was a program through the humane society where I used to live. They would trap entire colonies of feral cats, fix them and that adopt them out in pairs as outdoor cats. We got a couple and they obliterated the squirrel population on our little organic farm. 👍
