Our attempts at poultry rearing have been occasionally hampered by the many woodland predators that stalk our partially free range birds. The worst was a raccoon free-for-all smorgasbord of our poor layers and ducks with mangled remains scattered everywhere, even the chicken coop roof. The pests did not seem interested in eating as much as wreaking havoc. One lone RI Red survived 3 attacks but after the third she simply stood and stared for several days until she died. I didn't know a bird could suffer post traumatic stress. It was awful. A mink had a grand time in both the outer pen and the inner barn, which we thought was totally secure. We learned that a small predator was afoot by the poor headless bird dangling from a knot hole in the barn door. The critter had tried to pull its prey along with it as it exited the barn...
Now our yard is pest free!
Everyone should have a "watch" goose! He is cranky and loud and very protective of his flock. Predator problems have almost disappeared since we acquired Dylan!
Feathers from our flock, mints from our garden are available for your craft projects
