Just before dark tonight my dogs were going crazy. Nothing would calm them, so I when out to check on the chickens. Their coop is wide open so they can come and go as they want. This year I added a pair of sheep to their yard. As I came around the corner of the house, I saw a coon entering the coop. It must have scared the sheep, for I could hear them getting up and out came the coon with the sheep right after it. This was better than watching TV. The coon headed for the outer fence and the sheep went for the blackberry patch. Took me 3 hours to get the sheep back in the coop. They probably would have gone back in on their own, but I wanted them there if the coon came back. Time to put the electric fence back in service. Now we all know what to do to keep a coon out of the coop.
