But I still don't get how he got in, and then OUT with an entire chicken.<br /><br />Mama Pea, I was half-expecting their older-than-dirt dog to keel over while I was there.<br /><br />Sandy, I guess there was some family business going on because FOUR chickens gone in two nights?? How much can one opossum eat?<br /><br />Nancy, one less opossum is good in my book.<br /><br />Jaime, luckily our predators have only been raccoons & opossums these past three years. Before then, it was bobcats and coyotes. Hope that doesn't happen again.<br /><br />Susan, not sure why the coop isn't secure as it should be, technically, they weren't really anticipating more chickens and I just kind'a threw the chickens at them. But hopefully they'll get it secured before they lose the remaining hens.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-73334735527840523242012-08-13T13:02:11.248-05:002012-08-13T13:02:11.248-05:00My question is, what was up with the neighbors?

I can't help but think the whole sequence of events you describe was "meant to be," since now you've made it possible for your neighbors to safely keep chickens again! Can you come catch our day-hunting fox please? We've had no luck catching it, and I've had to keep my remaining hens in the barn all day :( <br />-Jaime Ngo Family Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484243776589015749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-17008821359282903962012-08-13T11:03:31.005-05:002012-08-13T11:03:31.005-05:00Well, atleast you snagged it!Well, atleast you snagged it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-48584641687457490762012-08-13T07:17:50.795-05:002012-08-13T07:17:50.795-05:00Carolyn Renee,

Either the dog runs away or the old cat kicks the bucket or an opossum gets the chickens. It's just the way it works. Sigh.<br /><br />I think the good thing here is that because of your and Paul's efforts one fat opossum is no more.
