I was actually able to chase him off with snowballs and save this girl because I caught it in the act. It’s killed five previous to this attack though.

I'm a city girl and I'm surprised about that at all.

We had a raccoon kill my little sisters rabbit that was in a cage outside.

30 pound raccoon will kill cats and small dogs too. AND they're colony animals and are able to carry rabies & human transmissible parasites.
BetweenTheWoodsAndFrozenLake
Raised chickens. They started disappearing. Raccoons were pulling them through the chain link fence. Chickens are dumb, wander too close
HrodgardNagrand
Need to raise your chickens better, mine killed a cat together.
onthe6ball
you need a .22 solution. BTW, the evil .223 was developed as a varmint load.
bhunalund
Does he slap them before eating?
illforgetthislater
Who dudnt like chicken!!??
Suichimo
I honestly don't get the obsession with these little bastards. They're nothing more than nuisances.
Felryn
they've adapted in some places to kill cats now i hear
IAmAGoldenGOD
A raccoon will kill a cat if it has the chance. A chicken is easy game.
InTheWoodsWhichStutterAndSing
They'll eat the barn cat's kittens if they get the chance easy peasy. They're opportunistic diners.

EAT MOR CHIKIN!
IAmAMammal
A chicken would eat a raccoon if given the chance. Seems fair,
berderking
I wonder how a raccoon would fair against an overly aggressive rooster with those metal cleats they use in cock fights
GloriousGreenNinja
Sounds like you need to buy a .22
DarkAngelWarlord
bait trap him take him far away and let him go
masterofmuppets13
Time for a trap, with banana peels and stuf cats/dogs won't mess with.
sugglebutt
Those fuckers can be mean. We locked our coop up at night. Had to use an actual pad lock because they would figure it out.
ACaptainOfNothing
Dang. I guess Filo really pissed of Raphtalia.

Trash panda's will kill and eat cats and small dogs too. And there's often more than one.

Why would anyone be surprised. Wild animal who eats meat with stronger jaws/bite than any dog breed.

Momma providing for her kits?
LilithIsUs
Have the same issues at my friends house. We lock the chickens at night but sometimes there's a dumb ass m.f That doesn't want to go in. 1/2
LilithIsUs
Installed sensor lights. Coons are smart, they know how to trip them. Change the location every few days. Pain in the ass 2/2
OnlyMorphman
Arm the chickens with guns. Problem solved.
Saikorjerrylied
Cows have guns... chickens have choppers
AngstAussie
Sounds like you need to build a better coop and lock them in at night
catsandcoke
They’re smart too. They always got around our attempts to keep them out.
SludgyKnoxvile
Sounds like you need to kill the rodent......
bloodhawk360
Agreed, maybe you live in the city but out here, that’s what guns really are for. Spare my livestock for one dead raccoon
DeadWaitingDreaming
We do but every so often one roosts somewhere odd, like a railing somewhere on the property, and we miss it. :(
tvaumat
Common causes of "independent roosting" are health issues or not enough roosting space in the coop.
ChickenFingerFingers
How many do you have? I free range mine, but I've got 5, so it's pretty easy to track
DeadWaitingDreaming
Around 20 now that we’ve lost some.
ThatSpiceyWhale
My aunt has similar issues with her chooks. 30+, and determined to roost in bad places.
JackArr

Remember the raccoon hunting and carrying the iguana off...after removing its still flapping tail?

The tail wasn't his fault. Many lizards discard their own tail when being chased. Chances are the predator goes after the writhing tail ...
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
while they can escape. Their tail even grows back later. The raccoon was too clever to fall for it though.

So...purchase a firearm...lawfully of course
Dragon10449
And if not legal where u are, a high powered pellet rifle would probably do the trick too if u hit the right spot

Can vouch for this. Personally killed some pests with a .22 cal pellet gun. Not fun if you don’t like to kill...not at all. :(
OmegaKamidake
It's really not, I love raccoons but if they're fucking with my chickens they're gone
Rczzgjvfrjvfdhjdsyun
In how many shots?
LosPer
More than I would have liked. And the first one was a head shot. :(. I though it would just drop. Nope.
