It looked like kind of a bluff there behind your pens. Do you get lots of varmints back there? Better string up some hot wire and get some traps ready!

It’s a really steep hillside the pen where my wife’s laying chickens are is like Fort Knox it would take a lot for something to get into them only issue I’ve had so far was a feral cat and he didn’t last long might have an occasional possum but nothing has got any chickens so far Biggest issue here is hawks

Hate to tell ya but a determined coon would get in that run in a heart beat. And a fox can easily have a field day. Not being mean or anything, but I'm talking from experience it may not be today or this year, but you will eventually have issues sure hate for someone to go through all the work of getting you something you enjoy and you yourself worked hard for aswell just to lose it. A decent electric fence, some DPs and a few other traps will go along ways. We are just trying save you some money and problems in the long run. Also them pens are a bit close if you ever have more than one rooster heck even some hens you'll have problems there to.

Electric fence is in the works. I’ve got some dp traps in the garage from when I trapped. May just set them today how far away from each other do the domes need to be

Look how havoc has his spaced. Even then I recall him having a whitehackle that was beating himself up to get to roosters even spaced out at a fair enough distance some are more determined than others.

Sounds good that should work good. Just trying to give ya some pointers before ya lose a bird that is hard or you can't not replace and I know we goof off a lot on here but no one wants to see that happen and majority of the time we've been there and done that.
