Do they bother your dogs?

Thanks for the info. I will try tying a zucchini. I have caught 2 young raccoons in the foot traps baited with marshmallows and fishy can cat food. And a possum in the live trap baited the same. But I have trail cam pics of a BIG raccoon that I want out of here.

I'm having the same problem with raccoons. But I have no problem putting lead into that head. They killed my very sweet young rooster. I have a trail cam and it showed 3 or 4 out there one night. I have only trapped a young one in a dog safe foot trap. They go around the box traps. good...

Thanks. I'm in SE Arkansas. I will look it up. Linda

Thank you. I love my chickens and hate to see new predators in the area. Hope tp know tomorrow Linda

It's full of berries. Never heard of beauty berries. Thanks Linda

Thanks. Dealing with raccoon is normal here. It's just such a large pile. Hope it's not a bear even thou they have been scene a few miles from here. Linda

Hope it's a raccoon. I have several traps, cage and foot. But nothing for a bear. I know they have been seen 5-6 miles from here. Hope to know tomorrow. Thanks for reply. Linda

Thank you. It looks like it's full of berries. Like raccoon scat, just a lot bigger. I have camera and live trap baited with sardines and foot traps bated with marshmallows. So maybe tomorrow I will know

Thank you for the reply. I just put out a trail cam on that area. I'm sure it will return. It's just much larger than any I have seen in the past. Thanks again, Linda

This is from over night outside the run. Chickens were looked up in coop. It is large size poop. What animal did this? I live in the Piney woods in SE Arkansas. I placed a 12x1" ruler by it but you can not read numbers. Any ideas? Have raccoons, possum, and coyotes, In the area. Thanks...

I used exterior 3/4 in plywood painted with porch n deck paint. Has lasted 9 years so far. My dad built a pontoon barge (floor) 12x24 with the same plywood and paint. Stayed in the water at least 20+ years.

Have no idea what that is. But I love the green

I agree, raccoon. They can stick their grubby little hands thru the smallest hole and grab a chicken.

Such a brave young roo. So sorry
