Can raccoons open a barrel-slide style door latch? I went out yesterday to find all my chickens outside. The horror! All were accounted for, but only 2 eggs. I got 7 the day prior, even in this cold weather. Only I let them out or in, and it was getting cold (so the ladies and gent stay in). Someone or something opened the latch on the door to the ramp that goes outside. It's a tough, tight latch and you have to lift the door slightly to get the latch all the way open. We heard gun shots out there the evening prior, and hunters were stopped by a Sheriff yesterday not far up the road.
I'm going to talk to Hubby, but a game camera should be put up for now and I may have to secure the outside (and the inside).
New item over at my Rooster's Crow Farm Blogspot.
Ship's Helm dishcloths/doilies.
Also available are headbands/ear warmers.
More colors are being added soon, so check back often.
By the way, hot banana pepper relish is fantastic in a grilled tuna/cheese sandwich. Yum!

Nothing like hunting for hours for a paper cutter, then realizing a kiddo took it when they moved out. And that was just the case, and she forgot to bring it when she came over too. Ugh. Kids. That project can wait I guess.
