Yeah Cyn. That one looks well fed. We have a big one that visits us at night and lurks in the moon shadows around here. It's attracted to the drippings from the smoker. They like the BOSS and birdseed as well. Anyway, it looks like your opossum is even bigger. Is it a pet?? lol!

Apparently, it's the bane of my cat's existence. He hates it, won't get near it. It probably outweighs him.

But possoms do carry leprosy

Nope can carry rabies, fleas, your thinking of: Many wild armadillos have been known to be infected with the bacterium that causes leprosy (Hansen's disease)

Where I come from a fat opossum or armadillo ends up in the gumbo pot. The skinny ones and small ones you let go to live another day.

Protecting your flock from opossums is not hard to do. It's the raccoons that are the wily ones. They go in the gumbo pot too.

You know what they say about armadillo's they are opossum's on the half shell

@thumper362 here are some pics of the babies I hatched from your eggs, the black one was hiding under the back porch, it's hot so the birds were seeking shade.

It can happen with silkies. I think it's called a vaulted skull. The skull doesn't close all the way and the brain causes a bump. You have to be careful with it around other chicks so they don't peck it to hard. As far as I understand, the skull will never fully close. I have one in my last hatch like it.

Oh so squeezing and pushing on it, is not a good thing,


LOL just joking,

Need some feedback...i was told today that reckons don't normally kill chickens, that they are mainly scavengers. And that what killed my Ginny back in Feb was more than likely a weasel ...the animal only took her head. If a weasel, what to use to try and trap it???

I hope everyone's flocks have enjoyed today's wet weather as much as mine have!!
