Chicken Predators and Coop Solutions

[Suburban Stone]

Hello Everyone,

I was having a hard time finding a list of predators and what to do about them all in one place. So I made my own graphic. The idea is for chicken keepers to mix and match solutions based on their particular circumstances. Let me know what you think!

Harvey Ussery's book has info regarding this, I think its 'The Small Scale Poultry Flock'; excellent info. Your library should have it if you want to check it out. Includes growing your own worms, raising crops, etc.

I love your chart! Here's a predator solution that works well for free range chickens...This Northwest Farm Terrier puppy is being trained to protect the chickens. They will herd the chickens to the coop at night, check the sky for Ravens, Hawks and Eagles and drive them off, chase off all manor of chicken predators, including Bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions, raccoons, bears, etc.. These dogs are fearless and take their chicken guarding very seriously. Some training is required.
