I'm still having the coyote issue lost a bird last week. Chickens and the ducks are now being cooped up all day long I just try to keep them occupied with lettuce and bread. I hate for them to be cooped up. So I'm going to put up a huge run for them to graze during the day and not have to worry...

Quote: I have to agree with some of the people replies I'd say put it down. Trust and believe me I have two coyotes that come around my house everyday between 6pm and 8pm right before the sun is about to go down and I've lost 12 hens this year I saw two being carried off with my own eyes and...

All I can say this cannot be a fox the tail is really smooth and really lengthy so I believe it''s a cougar. All I can say is keep those chickens safe and make sure you keep us posted good luck

Thanks for your help this might be a silly question when you say by their second spring you mean two years right? Thanks I'm looking forward on purchasing some muscovies I'm getting their pen set up right now and putting up an electric fence to keep they even more safe from coyotes. For some odd...

Hello poultry peeps!!! I have a few chickens that have a sign of coryza and believe me its not a pretty sight to see at all. They have really swollen eyes and have small bubbles on the side of the eye. I didn't take a chance so I separated them as soon as I notice something wasn't right. I have...

I posted a post several weeks back about a coyote attacking my chickens in front of me and it did it again. This really upsets me to the point where I don't know what to do. This is the first time I ever had this problem usually it would be stray dogs. Today I was on my laptop sitting infront of...

Quote: Hello this is so true coyotes will keep coming back as long as you have hens roaming around your area they are still going to be on the prowl trust what this person said I have been stuggling trying to get rid of a coyote for months so far it took five hens and one rooster and one...

Quote: I would find it very hard to have to kill an animal that is just trying to survive like the rest of us. Coyotes don't kill our chickens for the fun of it, they do it to feed their young and continue to exist. They have as much right to this earth as we do. That being said, I also...

Hello viewers: Okay just to give an update the fish and wildlife haven't yet give me a call I feel like I'm just harassing them 24/7 and they won't come out here its very fustrating. Yesterday we had visitors here and while I was on the computer my friend saw the coyote I should have taken a...
