Hey Y'all:
I went out to check on the chicks and on the way to the hen house found 1/2 in diameter holes in my lawn that goes fairly deep into the grass. I know my critters didn't do it for they stay in their run and when I do let them run free they head to the other side of my yard (and are supervised...Hawk patrol the neighborhood). I thought it might be racoon but when they torment the yard they just leave dirt pile not holes. What do you suppose it is?
How do we stop this? Interesting side note...The holes were in a row, not a straight row but decently straight and covered about 10 feet. We even thought they were earth worms (we have too many in the front yard and they leave small mounds of dirt as they burrow...the birds LOVE our home in the spring).
We live in zone 6b (northern utah).
