.308 , its the only way

That is so not true....... I find the 22/250 works well too!

We bought some hens last year and have been really happy with them. We have had some issues with rats(now dead), mites(now dead) and foxes (now also dead). My wife and kids love the birds, and the eggs keep us and my parents in law amply supplied. It isn't a cheap way to get eggs but that isn't the point. There is also a great deal of satisfaction from home producing your food

Big thanks to Stacka

We have had a maggie raiding the egg box of the hen house. I set a trail cam that gave me an afternoon timeframe for the raid. I figured that if I parked the car on the yard they would probably ignore it and I could use it as a mobile high seat. Sure enough after no more than 10 minutes a black and white thief jumped into the hen house to emerge after 20 seconds or so when it sat on the wall next to the hen hut. This was only about 10 yards from the car so it wasn't much of a test for the 17 remington. The result was however fairly spectacular! One down and more to go!
