Esme and I went out and tried to secure down the chicken yard a bit more with zip ties and bricks etc et al... two more opossums were in my hen house last night and my big Beau rooster (second in charge, half-blind) did his best to alert me and face them off but they wouldn't leave until I came out. He has a terrible noise he emits when they are out there - between that and the dogs I'm up even if asleep. We'll see if we've managed to close up the places they were getting in at or we'll have another round of checks and fixes. The other bigger rooster, (pictured below, I don't really have a name for him, but maybe Sarge) was on top of the henhouse with all of the hens pushed up under his wings keeping them safe, so both roosters were doing what they could.
