Raccoons will wreck a whole flock of chickens in a single night. You definitely don't want to be let them go if they're that close.

[@badassmother1426]

Isn't the purpose for trapping a predator to dispatch it? What is the point here?

[@alexshatzko1381]

all the branches and limbs need to be burned or relocated and the whole area gets raked so its more like a park---I have done that and more deer, and raccoons still come around ..and will not have anywhere to hide

I agree, I have a friend that has baby chicks and ducks and a raccoon killed everyone in one nigh, guess they were teenage size,

I would say dispatch any predator that is on your property, that you trap... if people complain they havent had a farm or their live stock killed by one!!

[@nevereasyranch7315]

Coyotes are very smart and wiley. I had a trapper that worked my property for coyotes years back. He took every precaution to keep his scent away from his traps. When he pulled up on his traps to check them, he would roll out a tarp on the ground before even stepping out of his truck. He used rubber gloves while handling the traps and bait.

suggestion for the metal trap. make a wire box for the area where the bait box goes. this way you have no accidental escapes in the future. do not use chicken wire though. use a much heavier gauge wire. i have seen the wild critters chew thru the chicken wire

Just to see if he could. And he did, it was always a weee bit wild but he kept him. He was a very adventurous man,always wanted to see how things worked. I asked him ,didn't you get bit!

You should have another cage and have the chicken you are bringing to the trap already set up in it. That way you just have to swap out cages instead of chickens. You can put the cage down to remove and replace the branches. Also make it easier on you if you have something caught in the trap.

[@KBAILEYinMS]

Looks like you might need a small pet carrier. That's what we used to transport 2-3 chickens at a time. My husband has been taking out coons and possums all spring, they have been coming on our porch which makes them fair game. Racoons will out chickens given a chance, they will reach through wire to get one.

Founder ( laminitis) is an inflammation of the inner layers of the hoofs, ( the laminae) in extreme cases, it can cause the coffin bone, ( a crescent shaped bone, that is one of the main bones of the foot) to rotate downward, and penetrate the sole of the foot, crippling the animal, while the causes of founder are many, eating too much green grass is one of them.

Our DNR says that you must relocate raccoons at least 30 miles away, or the same one will be back within 3 days. I caught two 30lb plus coons in one night in the same live trap, only took them 5 miles for release, they were both back the next day, you ask how I know they were the same two, I put spray paint on their tails. Next time they got in the trap, I dispatched them on the spot, they haven't been back in over two months.

If me I would have permanently removed the raccoon. And yes mini's are prone to founder on the new sweet spring grass. We even started our big horses on spring grass the same way, a hour or two each day for 4-5 days then added a hour or two every 4-5 days we also mowed the spring grass down once it was 8-12" tall to help get rid of the higher sugar content in that grass to help prevent the founder and possible colic issues (gas buildup). They will for sure the extra room to run around. Be sure they know what the hot wire is (we would wet their faces and make them touch the fence so they know what it was (wire electric fence with strips of cloth tied around it so they could see where it was).

Right now it might be better to focus on catching the critter that's been so stealthily carrying your chickens away. Before they're all gone.

I caught your video and heard the electric fence for. Minis. I’ve owned horses for years. A small pen is nice. Grass digests in their digestive track differently. Laminitis comes in many forms. Founder is severe. You can also invest in grazing muzzles. My horse wears one on a small grass area even if for a few minutes as he is insulin resistant. If I remember correctly there is also 52 plants that are toxic to horses. Horses will eat grass by the roots. So rotation is great. I’ve read storeys guide to feeding horses very good read.
