Good idea... a pig can tear up a dog!!... and if they get attacked they are LOUD! you'll hear them....
I dont know if anyone has said this yet... but human urine will scare them off too...
a lot of people (usually males... lol..) pee around their coops/yards to keep predators out...
*i know..sounds weird..*
just an idea...
OMG Redhen, pee around the coops?!?!? That is such a grossly FASCINATING idea! Ugh- its just seems sooo gross, but honestly? Yep, I'm going to be asking my hubby to do a little extra detail around my coop! * Just in case, ya know* I havent had an issue with predators inside my actual coop perimeter in almost 2 years, but I figure the extra 'line of defense' cant hurt, right? I guess I might never know if it really works, but I will probably have a nice giggle over the memory of him pee'ing for me and my chooks!!
It does kinda make sense since most animals use urine as a way to mark territory, why not us? As for it being a male who does it- that makes sense too since males are by nature more aggressive due to higher testosterone levels (in humans, I mean) and the hormones do show up in urine....might send a strong message to predators.
Really, I hadnt heard of it before, but your idea makes sense! Thanks!
this may work for wolves they are a little ways away from me ( 50-100 miles) it works better with domestic dogs it does not seem to work for red fox or greys here they have a food source they come right into the yard oh yea my wife changed a few things about me I actually eat vegetables these days but I still ain,t yard broke
