Don't have personal experience on this one but they might be just a tad fast for them girls. I have gotten the munks with a rat trap baited with peanut butter. Perseverence is the key here.
Yeah, it was probably just wishful thinking. I'd like to use the rat traps, but my mother-in-law (whose house I live in) won't let us use any kind of traps because she's worried about one of her grandkids (not my kids, or they'd know not to mess with things like that!) getting hurt by it. I bought a live trap to catch the pesky things and she refused to let me put it in the garden because 'if one of the kids tries to play with it, they might get their hand cut off!' She seems to think a live trap works something like one of those nasty bear traps with all the teeth lol. Not sure the traps would work well anyway, we literally have hundreds if not thousands running around our property. My husband shoots them when his mom's not home to find out about it.
I found out recently that free-ranging chickens need to be penned up during kidding time for the goats. I was helping a friend pull some tangled up kids out the other day, and her chickens were swarming everywhere picking at the goo and blood! They were pulling on the doe's afterbirth, trying to get the whole thing out to eat it! Gross!
