My dad had a huge problem with them killing his chickens @ night (mostly nocturnal). he used a live trap and just relocated them in the woods.

O i was so lazy yesterday. I left the food containers out there (they were empty) but they walked to each station and were all around the coop. I hang seed blocks in there. I moved those and removed the food bowls this morning.

Thats what i would do. My coop should withstand them. I just gotta be less lazy at night and have better placement of the seed blocks. Though i had them inside the run one was on the hardware cloth and that was one spot they went to. I guess i cant help the feed the chicks spill i will be more diligent about raking it up from here out. Lesson learned

Yah take away the easy food, they might go elsewhere.
