    Does this sound like hawks or dogs?

    Sorry to say it but I believe you have foods that can not be trusted with your chickens any longer. Yes hawks will leave puncture wounds but so will dogs. The fact that the hawks didn't carry your hens off and the dogs standing over the hens is a pretty clear sign also that it is the dogs.

    Geese lovers please help! laying in October!?

    I have two African geese. My goose is super sweet and friendly but the gander is standoffish and will no longer come up to me. They both were raised in the house until they were three months old with day time outdoor trips.

    About to get rid of my hens if I cant solve this FLY problem

    If only to help with the chicken coop problem, try those little vanilla tree's. The ones you hang in your car? Hang them around and in the coop area. It may not help with the flies that are there for other reasons but might for the chicken coop.

    The picture isn't quite big enough to tell but, Is he really reddish orange? If so you may have a kestrel which are only dangerous to small chicks.

    Raccoon...A Dirty Word!

    But dogs can also turn into a predator themselves and a very big expense. Normally you have to start with a puppy which is no use against a raccoon killing birds now.

    Get a good live trap and a handful of cat food. Place the live trap where you've seen him walking, Bait it with cat food in a simi-circle around the outside of the trap, just sprinkled lightly on the ground works. And then make a trail of it into the back of the trap with the cat food. Dry cat...

    Doves around the coop

    I imagine that one of those motion activated singing fish would scare off just about anything. Or anything that makes noise and moves that is motion activated. I think I remember someone mentioning using one of those fish before..
