HAPPY morning everyone,
Hope all are enjoying a nice cool morning even though there is a lot of humidity in the air.
Yesterday we saw that the raccoon was back and was digging to get at the chickens, The night before this I noticed that one of the boards had been moved from where I had placed it against the chicken pen, the dirt was all clawed away and he had reached under the door and was scratching inside the pen, so we set a trap yesterday and he is in the trap this a.m. So now to get rid of the pesky thing for once and all. Vince will "dispatch" his butt and then he will no longer be a threat to my chickens.
I will keep a diligent eye around the pen area from now on. Our chicken pen now looks like Fort Knox I kid you not. Yes, it is sad, but so is walking out to your chicken pen and finding 2 chickens with their heads chewed off, and a third still alive with such severe head wounds that he died half a day later, his skull had a hole in it I later found out.
