    Quote: you have to check your local laws but no harm in selling them to people you know. i sell my spares to my co-workers, they cant get enough. some even want their own birds now because of the quality of the eggs compared to store bought.

    coyotes? i'd suggest a shot gun or rifle. they will jump an electric fence for food. unfortunatly coyotes will sometimes hunt in packs, one dog is no match for that. they will sound the alarm, you might have to do the dirty work. they do sell traps large enough for the coyotes too. good luck...
