I think it was too stupid to live.

I had the trap baited and three nights in a row the bait was gone, but the door didn't spring. I didn't bother baiting the trap for the last week. It went into an unbaited trap! It was napping peacefully in the photo.

Something had been digging around the pens. Night before last, something (Pepe LePew) had pulled a chicken's leg through the pen fence and eaten off most of the leg. The pullet was still alive, with a bare bone hanging out

We of course had to put the poor thing down (and by we I mean DH).

Let's just say the kitty is permanently sleeping.

If you ever trap one, PM me for instructions.

Will do.

I have trapped a baby skunk once. Got sprayed trying to get it out.

Just wrong. That's my pillow, tv remote and iPad. Looks like he's on a Candy Crush Saga time-out.

Too cute. He's in the middle too. He's not leaving you any room.

What do you NOT want to find in morning when you go out to check on your chickens?

YIKES! Better to find it here than to find it wandering in a run or coop!

Deb what a pretty kitty are you gonna keep it

Awe, poor chicken. At least you got it for now!

I'm VERY tempted to bring at least 3 or four hens up to our back yard, just for bug control !... but my wife and the neighbors may not like that... and coyotes could jump the fence to get them in a heart beat.

Yikes Deb! What did you do with it?

mmm skunk with roasted potatoes and veggies

Come on down to PJ's. I can still recover it and pass it off to you!

I have been trying to be a good girl and not say a thing about all of us wanting you to keep at least 3 or 4 hens at your new house. Not very recently, anyway.

But, c'mon, you GOTTA. Won't be hard to cobble together something suitable for them....

A dog sleeping on a pillow with the remote nearby, snakes and skunks and scorpions and gigantic beetles? All I have to offer is.... a fish.
