Hello everyone. I live in Texas and we just started creating our little ranch including backyard chickens (10 in total). We love it so far except for predator problems we have had. Looking forward to learning from everyone.

People here are super nice and often have good information. I'm sure someone will have help for your predator problems.
 
You need a Fort Knox of a coop and covered run, if you free range birds and your loses are too high. The predator section folks may even be able to ID the type of predator that is getting your birds, in you fill in some details about the loss or kill.

You've already been given some good advice and helpful link, so I'll just say hello and it's nice to have you here!
 
Welcome to BYC, Laura. Glad you decided to join our flock. Which part of Texas are you in? My wife and I were both raised in the great state of Texas. :eek:) There's a good article at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2013/07/11-tips-for-predator-proofing-chickens.html on predator proofing your chickens. If you haven't done so already, definitely check out our Learning Center at https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. There is lots of useful information there. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Cheers.
