Thank you for explaining that!

SD, our chapter also has yearly visits from Oregon FFA chapters. I know Elgin is one that comes I forgot the other one.

Out of the eight buffs I hatched back in March three are left. They have been sleeping outside for two weeks. I could never get them in theyd sleep in the hemlock behind the coop. There is 2 roos and 1 hen left. A coon come by and feasted last night. Im truly about to cry.........

OUCH! Sorry BB

So sorry. I'm thinking that's what probably got my hen. After all, whatever it was had to climb a 6 ft fence, and then tried to drag her thru it.

Thanks guys.

That is so discouraging! I know how that feels, a dog ate all but two of my pullets I hatched out last year that I was so proud of. I love dogs but THAT one I shoot at with the BB gun.

Oh BB, I am so sorry to hear about your chickens. I have to say, of ALL the animals...I like coons the least!

 

[Marianne]

So Sorry! Been there... And once those coons know there's a buffet there, they will be back. Lock up the birds nice and tight every night.

Ouch, so sorry! We had to shoot a coon last year who had climbed into the coop- she hadn't gotten any of the chickens yet. 2 days later we found a baby coon wandering around helplessly. SO cried over that one. The baby got taken in by a wildlife re-habber. In the next state.
