Yesterday we (my mom and I) were sitting on the back patio enjoying the weather. I looked at my chicken area and there in the middle of things was a huge raccoon, sitting at the feed bowl enjoying himself. My chickens were all around him not panicked at all. I screamed and ran at him and he ran under the coop with the other chickens. They were not scared either. I chased him off. Ten minutes later he was back at the bowl again the chickens were not alarmed. I chased him off again. Meanwhile my son got the gun ready (I personally cannot do it). He came back for a third time, everybody all around him. My son got a shot off but he was hightailing it back into the woods.
What the.....? Why are my girl not alarmed at all? The raccoon did not appear ill, he ran away each time quickly. I'm totally baffled and very nervous. What to do?
