Winter Chicken Predators To Look Out For

Very well written, LOVELY article!

Good, but it suggests using chicken wire, which is definitely not the way to keep predators out of a coop. Otherwise, a well written article!

Had a hawk go for our chickens the first time we started raising them. Probably almost lost a few, but our rooster jumped up and kicked the hawk out of the way, saving the hens. He got nicked on his comb from it, but no real damage. This is a good article, with good info on chicken safety.

Excellent predator info. I would not use chicken wire anywhere on the run. Not even on top. Chicken wire is way too flimsy to keep anything out.

A very nice overview of possible foe for your flock and it's good information on how to prevent them. :goodpost:

Nice overview of winter predators.
A predator apron is typically more than 6 inches away from the coop wall; 12-18 inches seems to be the standard recommendation.

Excellent overview and great use of links to more detail!

Super helpful!

Good article on the most common winter predators and how to handle them.

Great article about all the possible predators to keep an eye out for even in the winter. Love all the links to more information about each animal.
