The thing I hate about coons is that they don't always kill to eat. Sometimes, they just like to kill.
Float On.......I'm assuming your chickens were free range? I live in mostly woods, so I would have loved to let them roam, but they probably wouldn't have survived a week, between the coons, feral cats, hawks, owls, etc.. One of my vets has chickens and lets them roam and she says if they die, they die. I guess I wish I could feel that way, but I'm too much of a wuss when it comes to my "pets".
