That was hilarious!! GREAT video...but really, as "cute" as the Opposums are (and I really do love them...caught, saved and raised many), you should know that not only will they steal and eat your eggs but they'll also kill your hens. The hens know this, which is why they were screaming. :o)
I knew it! We just installed new security fencing for the coop and close it up at night, so hopefully this works. We haven't seen him around since that first night. I think he was afraid we would try to cuddle him :)
We like him, so I'm glad to hear that... I haven't seen him since the incident, but I'm sure he's lurking around. Luckily, I have VERY cool neighbors who are a little in debt to me for their own shenanigans... and I'm also a member of the town zoning board ;)
Justin tried to shove it into a bucket with a skateboard, it hopped off the fence, I freaked out and screamed, and ran away while my rain boots fell completely off. The best part definitely missed video :)
oh my ... I used to think opossums were cute ... until it showed me it's TEETH !!

He's just looking for a meal, Opossum are not enthusiastic hunters--if you leave out something else that is an easy meal he won't bother the chickens.
They are very good pest protection, they eat mice,rats, snakes,roaches,etc.
Don't carry diseases and get along with cats and "polite" dogs, what more could you want.
I wish you luck on the chicken venture --your biggest threat will be your neighbors- I speak from experience.
Check out the tame possums on my page.
