Sweet nostalgia. I miss my chickens. Rat Bastid raccoons tore a hole in the poultry netting on their coop, and killed them. The raccoons also wiped out my goldfish pond. Some of my fish were eight years old. I hate raccoons and possums.
I feel your pain .... and dittoes on the ‘coons, possums. We have skunks, too and have had them kill chickens in the past. Had a black snake get in the coop this summer .... ate an egg and then because of the “lump”, could not fit back through the chicken wire! Kind of funny to see ..... “the girls” were all ok, just a little flustered.
It was 50 at 9:30 am and now it is 46.2 at 11:00 am. I’m on a downhill slide.
The deck is wet so at some time last night, water came down. rightly, did you know it rained - maybe it was just a sprinkle.
