Re: Predators - build your night coop like a tank! And be sure you get them in before dark every night - I set my cell phone alarm so I hear it wherever I am. I read somewhere on this board that if you can't hear your chickens when you're in the house, use a baby monitor. As soon as I get a chance I'm going to get one, b/c even though they're sometimes quite close (movable pen) I can't hear a thing inside. Good luck - you'll become mega-attached!
