#8 AND #9 RACCOONS MOVED TO SUNNY SOUTH BREVARD VACATION HOME

 #8 AKA BITEY, HISSY, GROWLY, SPITTY

This little raccoon had a bad night. He's been rampaging our chicken aviary cages, digging his way in questing for food. We don't mind if he visits at night but when he starts invading the chicken play areas then he is only one step away from coming during the daytime and helping himself to a chicken in a most unpleasant manner.

#8 (for short) made a quick escape once he was at his new home.

#9 BABY RACON

This little guy was very daring and would taunt us mercilessly, staying just out of reach but repeatedly coming to eat and rampage the chicken aviary(s), he has a new home in beautiful South Brevard County. His brother is still sneaking around P2, as long as we don't see him in our chicken areas we're cool.

Goodbye Baby Raccoon, another place, another time......

#6 "BIG BOY", 50-POUNDER RACCOON, GOOD BYE

 This guy took us three nights to catch, he was not happy about it either. 

"That's a 50-pounder" quote from Robert our exterminator, he does not like raccoons like we do.

This guy was heavy, you could tell by picking up the trap LOL

RACCOON #5, "CRAWLSPACE", LEAVE OUR CHICKENS ALONE!

 For the most part we've gone without much interference from raccoons for the last 10 months, ever since we did a major "tighten-up" on food sources laying around "out here". 

Now, since unknown contractors have been clearing more and more land around our farm to build more $480,000 homes and $2,000/month apartments, raccoons roaming for a home have joined with the rats in overrunning our property at night. 

We hate to move the little guys since they're already having problems with finding a secure place to live but when they are digging into our chicken aviarys, upsetting rat traps and generally causing havoc it ends here, right now, with the help of Tractor Supply Company (that is where we bought our wild animal trap).

Without further introduction here is RACCOON #5, AKA, "CRAWLSPACE". We caught him inside a chicken aviary last night and he's a repeat offender who got away the night before. Not this time, he is now vacationing in the wilds of South-West Brevard County, good bye Crawlspace, be safe!

MEET "CRAWLSPACE"

That's a damn good looking racon

 

 

RACCOON #4, "DIGGIE"

SHOULDN'T AUWTA DUG INTO OUR CHICKEN AVIARYS

 This little guy repeatedly terrorized us by digging into the aviary areas of several of our chicken flocks. Fortunately the chickens are snug in their Formex chicken coops but we still don't like this guy coming and making a mess of food. He had to go. It took us two tries to get him but our second attempt snagged our little intruder. He got a ride over to the wilds of the South-West, to a nice new forest of plants. 

When we opened the cage he ran free, very fast, in less than 2-seconds he was gone out of sight. 

In the pickup, ready for his ride to his new home

Ringo Playing 6-27-21

 We caught Ringo in one of his playful moods this morning, and he put on a show for us.  We love Ringo!

 

 

Mr Pea and the Ladies

 Here's Mr. Pea showing off to the ladies, trying to win their favor.  In March, this is a daily occurrence...   and he looks his best.  The display is perfect, the dance is elegant, the feathers are unbelievably blue and green and hopefully the ladies are impressed.

And the daytime racon, stealing black oil sunflower seed treats behind Mr. Pea's back :D

Ringo Eating Out of my Hand

 Ringo woke up STARVED today... he sat on the window sill staring at me. So I knew he was hungry enough to perform and eat out of my hand today :D

 

 

Ringo Pingo coming home after a couple of days of adventure... He's VERY Hungry

Today at P2

Here's a quick video update.

Angel (our little wood duck) was here visiting, enjoying corn, swimming around with her friends.  We hadn't seen her for a few days so I'm glad to see she's happy, healthy, and hungry!

We stock SUPER LARGE marshmallows as a racon treat...  here's why!
