Very, very sad day. Two days ago we had over forty pheasants in the coop, and today we have none. NONE. We have always had raccoon problems on this farm; the chickens will be merrily rambling about and then one day I will notice a pile of feathers and the next day another pile of feathers, so B sets traps, catches the 'coon, and the chickens are safe for another bit of time.
But, weasels??? Evidently weasels are great to have around, they eat rats and mice and other annoying things. Until the rats and mice are all gone; then they will raid poultry barns. And kill everything off in one night.
So, the good news is we have no more rats or mice. The bad news is we have no more pheasants.
