    Awesome enclosure! Raccoons are an issue. When my wife wanted chickens, the first thing I did was figure out how to keep them safe from predators. I used hardware cloth when building our coop as I learned chicken wire will keep chickens in but Raccoons will either tear right through it or stick their arms through, grab a chicken, and eat it through the wire! We live on a lake in Idaho with many summer cabins that provide homes (and food) for Raccoons. I ended up trapping 25 in 2 months and a neighbor who lives nearby trapped close to 30!
    I could see the difference in Scarlett's behavior post vet visit in the short video. Thanks for taking such good care of her.

      Thanks Scott. Definitely a difference in her before and after the vet visit. Yeah the raccoons are tough, and I also forgot to mention we have several mink on our property since we're near the river. I get pictures of them on trail cam. The electric really helps.

      Yep, one mink can wipe you out! Have you ever had mites? We had them once. I could feel them crawling up my arms when I collected eggs but couldn't see them. Frontline on the birds and Sevin dust in the coop took care of that. I felt so bad for the chickens getting eaten alive on the roost at night. A guy told me to seal up the coop, put a pile of Sevin in the doorway, and hit it with the leaf blower. Worked wonders!

    Wow - incredible. Only a few weeks ago she was a wild bird, now she's coming to the glove and taking the lure. She'll be hunting in no time at all. Also, glad to see you got her health issues sorted, she'll be much happier now. Sad to think though, there must be lots of wild birds lousy with those horrible worms.

    Thank goodness you trapped her! Just goes to show how much wild birds have to deal with. They're smart enough to work out that you're helping them, and she's probably going to work out that you helped her feel better too. Hopefully her hunting weight will be higher than you expected once she's healthy too, she already looks huge!

    Don’t know if you can use it for a hawk but I use “Quest” wormer for the pigeons. I get it from tractor supply m, it’s for horses. It’s .25 ml per gallon for 48 hours and we use it for our chickens. Gets rid of external and internal parasites. I give it to the pigeon every 6-8 weeks. Works extremely well.

      @fishmut 2 месяца назад +2

      Yep I had racing pigeons years ago and they are grain eaters and still get worms so hawks and falcons will definitely get worms eating wild game or domestic birds they get their talons into. If people are serious about looking after the birds health they should worm them out anyway , your right on track with your worming all the bird flyers I knew wormed their birds regularly.

    • @DanzaLoft
      @DanzaLoft 2 месяца назад

      @ the preventative treatments are key for optimal performance. When I have a bird get grabbed by a hawk and get away, even if the wound is superficial I have to treat with antibiotic ointment because of infection from the bacteria on the talons alone. A lot of my birds issues stem from wild birds mixing with my pigeons and like you said, my birds eat grains and still get it.

    • @FinsandTalons
      @FinsandTalons  17 дней назад

      We put anklets and jesses on the birds legs, so it can't reach up with it's feet (feet would cause the most injury). We also don't hold them real close to our face when the are newly trapped, but they aren't usually offensive, they usually only want to jus get away at first, then they start trusting us.
