[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 376516, member: 3398"] Beefy, Dont let all of thoes questions worry you. 8) With the chickens roosting up in thoes trees the coons will take care of your problems before you need the answers to any of thoes questions. :lol: I had a bunch of rode island reds one time. I spent alot of time/money building a nice little coop with a good chicken wire fence with sheet iorn burried arround the bottom of the fence where nothing could dig under it and get to them. And a big Oak tree on one side of the coop for shade and a pecan tree on the other side. I even went to a chicken swap one weekend and bought some banty hens & a couple of little banty roosters. And while walking by the coop a couple days latter. I noticed most of my bantys were gone. :shock: I got to looking arround for them and finally found two legs that was left of one of the banty roosters. Then the next morning 6 or my rode island red hens were gone. No sign what so ever of them. A old man at the coffee shop told me it had to be coons. So the next night i pulled up to shine my truck lights on the pen and sure nuff there were 3 coons in the pen and up the oak tree they went. Well i got one of them with the shot gun that night. The next night i caught one in a steel trap and shot another one out of the oak tree. About a month passed then the coons hit me again and wiped everything out except for one old rode island red rooster. :) I just let him run loose and he has survived for over a year now. :lol: [/QUOTE]
