📰News 🦝 Possum news (and memes)

3 chickens dead on 2 nights in the last week. It's that time of year, the coons or possums have returned.

These chickens haven't laid for shit for much of this year, they're just a waste of feed, so I've left the coup open. Let them die for all I care. Fuck paying $50+/mo in chicken feed only to still have to buy eggs.

Now I have to bury 2 chickens after the kid goes to school and I get to start trying to trap and introduce them to my murder trough.
 
I have a worse problem than Juggs. Going to shut out cat indoors and setup a trap. Should be entertaining.

Would normally ignore the little fucker but he was on the porch steps this morning. Can’t have it trying to follow the cat through the dog door.

I know someone who trapped a skunk and almost got sprayed trying to dispose of it. The next skunk that got into the live trap.....just stayed in there until it died.

I'd try a conibear or something else so it's easy to shoot.

I'm just going to cover my live trap with cardboard and a blanket, if I don't catch it in the yard again. Been carrying my suppressed 5.7x28 pistol around.
 
I'm down to 9 chicks out of 16. Still, my older ones still aren't producing to the point I just never put them in the coop. They free range all day and I keep hoping something eats the last 5. It's been weeks and whatever coon/possum ate my last 2 hasn't come back at all. WTF?
 
Can you eat them or is it not worth the hassle?
de-feathering a bird is a huge pain in the ass and not worth the effort IMO. Especially when chicken is cheap and right now you can buy a turkey for .49/c a pound :lol:

4 of them are scrawny anyway, although laid massive XXL sized eggs when they were laying. It was crazy to see them lay eggs near twice the size of Big Momma (she's a huge fat waddler that would probably be good eats).
