Us versus Possum, Day 2

No real exciting news to report on the possum front. Last night it was about 9:30 p.m. when I discovered it. So this afternoon Matt counted the eggs (13) but left them there and we went back out at 9:00 tonight. Possum had already been there and consumed 3 eggs.

So tomorrow I'll talk to my brother and see if he has a live trap we can use.

It's a small young possum, and as far as I can tell it's only interested in the eggs. I think if it was after chickens Miss Silkie would have gone missing already.

As to Pablo's question, I assume it walks right in the door :) We have a small door cut into the walk-in door so that the chickens can come and go at will.

To be continued...
