Weasel 😭

[KimbosKluckers]

All girls are fine, but I saw a weasel or ferret running off about 20 minutes ago…broad daylight. Now I’m frantically trying to figure out a solution. My BB gun is ready to go. I assume they can and will kill full grown chickens?

Hi! I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. Killed about 8 chickens. It hasn’t come back since because we tried to shoot it. It was to fast. Not sure how you prevent it unfortunately. Mabey add some fake cats or something? They will kill full grown chickens (our encounter killed a few baby chicks as well).

How devastating. I’m sorry that happened to you. We have a couple feral cats that apparently roam around here (I catch them on the security cameras) and I have dogs. I truly hope it was just passing through since there’s been a drought. I’ve never seen one here before but it was very close to the chicken run. I have a BB gun ready or maybe I should use a .22? Yes, they are super fast, so I’d probably miss. Thanks for your reply. Just want to keep my gals safe.

Thank you! We also have a cat and dog but they did not work for it coming the first time. I think the gun really scared it. I would use the .22. I hope you don’t miss, but if you shoot it it will be better to use a stronger gun so you kill it first shot if you hit it!

Got it. I’m glad yours hasn’t came back. Thanks again!
