Sadly I lost mintaka in the most vicious Raccoon attack I've had. Two raccoons chewed through my fencing and devoured 10 chickens. The chicken wire I was using was the typical wounded wire. No longer will I use that stuff. Now I use hardware cloth. The raccoons do not chew as easily through this. Galvanized Hardware Cloth
He was a great bird. Always herding and guiding the young ones. Would help me get the babies into the coop at night. Definitely in charge but with a sweetness to humans.
