Coyote!

My males are all neutered (before 6 mo) and they keep other critters out here in the country at bay. It's the fact that you have a dog, not because he's intact.

I agree. All of mine were nuetered at 6 months too. And no problems.

Okay this may sound really weird, but you can all use male human urine if you don't have a buff pooch. I have six sons and a husband - they are encouraged to pee around the barn (yea, it doesn't take much encouraging.) While all of our neighbors have had coyote issues, lost livestock and pets, and I've spotted them in the field across the road, our hens have all been left alone.

(I discussed the peeing around the boundaries with DH - he's willing and it'll probably get the dog doing it more too, ha ha)

I reuse the big cat litter jugs. They are labled "you're in" and the guys know what to do

then I pour it around the pens, and chicken tractor.

I'm looking to hire out as a marker. Do I have any needy customers? I'm not nuetered but I am a little on the aged side.

All joking aside, my dog has been fixed but he still goes around marking his property. So far so good, if he has anything to do with. Plus I seldom go inside, so there may be something to that.

LOL...now this got me thinking that maybe it isn't the dogs keeping the coyotes away but the human males marking their territory!

I don't have a problem with any male wanting to mark their territory here!
I assumed it was because one of my dogs is not neutered and the other one is and the not neutered one will mark everything in sight and the the neutered one don't even bother to lift his leg let alone mark anything! LOL
