Bad News in the Pigeon Loft (I'm Upset)

[@pattik9003]

I'm so heartbroken over Red. I was the one who came up with his name and I felt connected to that grumpy old bird. RIP Red Forman.

[@JordansHarvest]

[@sarahfletcher6296]

I’ve had a rat problem with my pigeons as well. I lost tons of chicks and money plus them pissing in the birds water making them sick. I’ve moved them and now have poison laid out, haven’t had an issue since. I’m sorry about Red I know how it is losing a favourite bird.

[@annrobinson4951]

Good Evening Jordan, great vid ,sorry you have a big problem with so many predators. Too many gaps in the ground floor lofts and probably the chicken sheds. Some tin sheets nailed up will stop the problem. Too many racoons around there, Jordan, get them trapped or shot! Very sorry that Red's gone,he was a legend in his own time! The geese and chickens look well. If you get more geese and ducks, Jordan, dig a big pond out for them. Your quail chicks and turkeys look fine, some big turkeys running around with the geese. We hope you solve the predator problems soon and we bet your livestock will be pretty grateful too. Take care and sort it out, Malc and Ann (England) UK xx

[@JordansHarvest]

I hope to get the predator problem fixed soon! I’d love to put in a small pond! I just need a good place to dig it!

Get the live traps out! Raccoons will just keep working out someway to get your birds. Even if your vigilant, they are finding meals there and they will return. You could catch them all and cage them. Then take the whole family 50+ miles away.

Raccoons for me, are the most dangerous to animals, over coyotes and cats. It's a sure sign when the head is missing from carcass, and parts are left it's a racoon. Coyotes and cats will carry off animals. If you see one racoon you have to times it by 40. I had 30 chickens, and 2 geese kill in last two years, here in Kansas. They are hard to trap, definitely considering night vision optics, but they are so spardic when they show up, also. All is well though, hope you get your pesk. Lol
