What chews through chicken wire?

[chicklady63]

So...did you ever catch whatever it was? I sure hope so, because these happenings make me so angry. I know it's nature & they are just trying to survive, and all that...but not on my pet chickens!!
Hope you got the culpret good.

id kill that coon NOW before there are more victims.

That hole looked kind of small for a coon. Unless the birds were roosting close enough for him to just grab them.

Sometimes it takes a few days after you set the trap because the trap smells so strongly of human. Definitely cover it with something , I used burlap as it has a stronger smell of it's own to counteract human smell. Also any kind of fish canned cat food is good for catching coons. Leave a little trail of the food leading to the trap, that way they try it, like it and want more. Marshmallows werent touched here, they also dont have much odor so they arent really an attractant unless a coon has tasted them before.


Good luck!
