    Saw coyote or fox near duck pen

    I was at the lake with two of my ducks and I received a phone call from my brother, he had seen either a coyote or a fox (were thinking coyote but I can’t be sure since I didn’t see it) standing near the duck pen and staring at them. My brother says he immediately shouted at it and scared it off...

    I think my chickens might have been eaten

    So my chickens frequently hop the fence and roam the hill right next to my house. I bring them in every time I can but sometimes I don't see them. They always come back, though. Today, however, I saw a coyote and wanted to make sure my chickens were ok. Two of them were missing. I looked...

    Just A Big Pile of Feathers! :-(

    This afternoon we noticed a pretty significant pile of feathers in a wide open space near our coop. No blood or tissue, just chunks of feathers. Of course, we immediately assumed that at least one of our free-range hens had been taken! We know that there is a large coy-wolf in the area, but it...

    Rooster rescued from a coyote, using Manuka honey

    A coyote grabbed our rooster. I'm vigilantly free ranging the chickens, but "vigilant" is a mixed bag, since a predator can grab and run in the blink of an eye, and within feet of where you're standing. So, I knew they were at risk. Our rooster is a lovely chap, a hired hand so to speak. He...

    Electric Fencing/Netting That is at Least 5 Feet High?

    I have an awesome coop which is super secure for the girls at night . . I have had no issues at night while they are sleeping BUT I had a coyote show up in broad daylight a few days ago while they were free-ranging and I have been since researching semi-permanent fencing for them so they may...

    I fought a coyote over my dead rooster and lost, now it's returning every day.

    I was trying to leave the last friday and spotted a coyote who had tunneled under our massive yard under a 6 foot chain link fence and killed my 15 week old silkie roo, my son, and I made a stupid choice and grabbed a rock and ran it down, slugged it in the side with the rock before it could get...

    Not foxes, coyotes.

    A little while ago I posted a thread about how there was a couple fox cubs growing up across our road and now our neighbours are chasing them out of their yards but they said that they look like baby coyotes. So I'm afraid that our yard might be the next stop for these little guys so is there...

    What Killed My Chicken?

    Earlier this year, I found the body of one of my standards in the run. Its (don't remember the gender) neck was completely stripped of feathers, and its chest was hollow (eaten). This happened through the chicken wire. I know we have raccoons, opossums, coyotes, foxes, etc., but does anyone...
