Our new flock started laying a couple weeks ago. We're about thirty eggs a week from 5 hens. Nothing better than fresh eggs with some country ham or home made sausage.

Thanks.
Something (I think it was a possum) killed a couple of them recently, so I've been setting a trap each night after I lock them up. Nothing yet, but I'll keep trying.

Use a chicken for bait and you'll catch that coon.

I actually tried that last year. I put what was left of a chicken carcass in the trap as bait, and all I got was a smelly trap.  I had to pick bones 'n feathers out of there to use it again, after giving it time to rot away.

I put my game cam in the run, pointing at the coop door, to see if anything came through. When I checked the pics yesterday, I saw that a coon and a possum had gone in the night before. (That explains why so much feed is gone lately).
I set the trap just inside the coop last night, so that anything trying to go in would walk into the trap. It worked, and I'll be giving him a .22lr later today.

I'm not trying that. 
All I know is that they're fun to shoot in the head.

It opens into the run, and I leave it open all the time so they can go from coop to run as they please. I like doing it this way, even though it puts them at risk.

Last week I got six more laying hens, and my rooster was happy to see them.
We also finished a goat pen;
...and got a couple young dwarf goats.
