The journey into the abyss of no return

[Weldman]

Bymule is right - for poultry/birds you need to have the tmer on several hours before dawn then let the natural dusk send the birds to roost. Otherwise they get caught off the perches or out of the night nesting areas making them vulnerable to predators.

The vulnerability these guys are having is broad daylight, they don't go out till 0800 hrs when I let them out and put themselves away way before dusk. Ducks go in, guinea fowl then geese.

No they don't eat eggs and is second one in past 7 years of being here. Last one a couple of years ago I dropped a sledge hammer on it.
