    Tell How Predators Got Your Chickens. Save Somebody Else From The Bad Experience

    I have 9 cats outside, and none of them mess with any of the chickens! Matter of fact, the cats run from the chickens! Or at least just kinda walk circles around them to avoid them. It's funny to watch a 4 lb chicken chase a 8 lb cat across the yard!!!

    Tell How Predators Got Your Chickens. Save Somebody Else From The Bad Experience

    I am very aware of that, however, it is a 20 gauge shotgun with bird shot in it, not a rifle. . We live on 30 acres, surrounded by 1500 acres of woods, and there should not be anyone within 5 acres of my house!! Shooting into the woods with bird shot just to scare whatever it was .

    My DH was outside early this am, about 4am, and will do the same tonight. With a spotlight and a shotgun, he saw what may be either a coyote or large dog, and shot into the woods where he ran. Plan is to continue this until either he kills something, or runs it off. I have other chickens, ducks...

    Contact your Animal Control, they often know of low cost spay/neuter clinics. Pretty much all the stray cats in Pender Co. seem to end up at my house!! Thankfully, we have a clinic nearby.

    Jon, so sorry to hear about your loss. One of our first Cochin hens just dropped dead one day. No marks, no clues, I googled and asked and researched, but never found any answers. There was something called sudden death syndrome.

    I agree, sounds like a coyote to me, big enough to carry a large chicken, jump a fence, etc. Debbie
