My setter (a bird dog) has killed more of our chickens than any other predator, she doesn’t even do it on purpose, she just loves catching them and running around with them, they die of heart attacks. So, she gets the yard in the morning and at night, the chickens get it during daylight hours...

We have a favorite hen who went missing for about ten days, came back for an afternoon, and then left for another two days! She showed back up in the yard today for a little while and is now gone again. She is at the bottom of the pecking order so I think what she’s done is made a secret nest...

I’m sorry you are having predator problems but have to say, those raccoon photos are priceless! I teach a class on raising chickens, would it be okay with you if I show these pics when I talk about predator-proofing your run? Obviously, you have entry gaps to plug, but once you have that taken...
