Have run enclosed with a tarp on top because of Bald Eagles, hawks, and owls. Chickens are safe, I go out with the dogs (Chihuahuas) armed with a broom. This past spring had a pair of hawks swoop down very close to our heads when we were building the coop.
Saw a eagle swoop down and tried to grab landlord's Great Prynees, Bella (8 years old)weighs 80-90 pounds. But it missed her. The other 2 Prynees gave chase. One Prynees passed away this summer, she was 15 and momma to Bella. Still have 2 Prynees (14 year old one not doing so well) and the Bluetick Hound (chicken killer) patrolling.
