Coyote and other predator proofing

[Eggscaping]

I haven't seen them dig yet, but i would never put anything past these coyotes out here. I guess the best option would be to make the place like Fort Knox.

That's what we did...Fort Knox, I mean. The guys building the coop/run kept saying, "But we don't even *have* any of those predators around here!" But we are a few blocks away from Ten Mile Lake, and we have seen mink by the docks when we fish...and we know that cats disappear when left out at night. We are of the "Better safe than sorry" school....can't go wrong with that!

So did some work on it this weekend and moved the girls in. We are locking them up in the coop at night, since it's a metal shed I dont think anything is getting in there. Still have the windows to finish and a few odds and ends but the majority of it is down. Now I just need more chickens to use the space lol

How has this been working? Have you been successful in deterring the coyotes?
