Ugh, that sucks. lost five a couple days ago to a coon
Copied and pasted:
It was about 10:00 and I was getting ready for the shower. I was already completely undressed and was sitting on the commode when mom yelled at me from the other side of the door, "SOMETHING"S GETTING YOUR GUINEAS"! Everybody was in bed at that point except for me and her. I said I'm coming and she ran out. I only took time to throw on underwear. I grabbed my very powerful LED light and my over/under. I threw her the light and pulled the gun up. I saw a coon and just before I shot she said " Oh ****, there is a steer out. There stood Doc. My pain in the you know what steer, right behind the coon! We got the steer in and tracked the coon. We found him in one of our pastures about 300 yds. from the scene. Chased him around but he got away.

I got cleaned out 2 weeks ago. I am done with chickens for now. I just don't have the time to fend them off constantly. Fox, coons killing chickens, skunks spraying my dogs, and now I am working to far from home to be there for the war games. Good luck w the one legged hen. I hope she recovers and keeps laying. I will miss the eggs for sure, but some day I'll get more birds. Maybe I could get one of those australian birds, casuary I believe. Maybe it could kick a coon around before gutting it with the velociraptor dew claw! I have no idea how to treat a bird that lost a leg, but I hope she makes it.
If your mind draws a blank, turn off the sound, because ya can't learn a thing if you're doin all the talkin
