If that chicken were damaging your garden or had the possibilty of disease or since you have a kid, crapping all over your yard, would you just leave it alone? So far the rabbit is still hanging out here but the pepper seems to be keeping it out of the garden for the time being. One of my kids gave it a nasty scare yesterday so perhaps that will be more of an incentive to move along. And when I first posted about this rabbit, I said it looks to have been someone's pet. I have no idea whether it was or not. The point is you have a much different idea of wild life than I do. Wild life that causes damage is either trapped and releases at some distance or destroyed. That's the way it works here. No one is going to drive a half hour one way with a trapped animal then pay fees to drop it off. Sorry, it just isn't going to happen. The person who lived in our house prior to us had 8 cats. All but one were left behind outside. One by one all were either trapped or shot and not by us. The same thing will happen to this rabbit. The difference is rabbit is good eating so whoever traps or kills it will definitely cook it up. It's just a matter of who does it. And before you ask, no I don't shoot anything.
