Thanks for the info. I do have extra netting maybe I will put some up today. It would be a good idea. I have owls on sticks that move around and it seems to help too but like you said...you just never know and I wold be sick if something happened.

Still, be careful! Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't. This year, a bald eagle dropped into my 8' x 10' x 6' high dog kennel that I pen my ducks in and ate my Pekin (my favorite
). I've lived here with ducks for 5 years and never had a problem. I assumed the same thing--that they wouldn't get in there because of their wide wing span. Obviously, I was wrong. We covered the pen top with chicken wire and a few days later my husband caught the eagle, on the ground, shaking the door to the kennel trying to get in! He was huge and very determined to get another meal.
My big dogs seem to keep away the racoons and other small ground predators. I see racoons, foxes, coyotes, etc out on the road all the time, but have never seen them venture on my property.
