    Thats prolly because your using the standard editor.... change your setting in the setting button top right of the main page.

    As far as your chickens the only way to keep the varmits from killen your birds is to lock them in at nite and make sure your coop and kennel has a dug in approx hunk of chain link fence or hardware cloth about 16" or so attached to the kennel /fenceing buried in the ground at an angle so they can't dig there way in. Of course you will have to have the overhead area fenced or they will climb in. this is why I use a 10x10 dog kennel attached directly to the coop. Make a for knox or continue to lose birds. Yeah you can kill the coons ..... but more will come.


    kinda like this only bury it at a angle about a foot deep.

    Thanks for the blood meal fix. I think I will try that in a couple of days after I catch and help control; the population a little.

    It can't be the watermelons. First year I got them in early the weeds were getting out of control. Son was learning to use the weed trimmer on wheels and he mowed them down perfectly the first pass.

    Coons are some of the easiest to catch if you do it right.

    First get a live trap, . . . then around the bottom up by the trigger, . . . put sheet metal high enough that he can't stick a paw in and get the bait or trip the trigger.

    Second, . . . eat a can of tuna (make a tuna fish salad sandwich), . . . and set the can in there as bait.

    When you come out and find him in the trap, . . . toss trap and all into a 35 gallon blue drum full of water, . . . go get a cup of coffee.

    Come back out, . . . open trap door, . . . remove contents to the buzzard hill, . . . reset the trap, . . .

    Lever action .22 rifle is also good.

    May God bless,
    Dwight
