    Heartbroken after losing 75+ birds, 2 turkeys, & 10 ducks.

    I see a lot of predators roaming on my property most every night as I have several game cameras in different places on my property, so I know what I'm dealing with.

    My extra mile is electric wire around my pens and coops, concrete under the gates and heavy duty netting covering all of the pens. I did this several years ago and haven't lost a bird to a predator since.

    There is always another one to take it's place. Because we are rural and live on a dead end road we get plenty of relocations from others. Once I have found a young gosling in our road that someone apparently dropped off

    If you have a game camera and put it up. I'm sure whatever it was it will be back. We have lots of coyotes around here too but they rarely hunt in packs. The most I have seen together is 3.
