Does keeping an ultra clean coop help with predators? My coop is plastic and I clean/disinfect 1x per week. It doesn't smell as much like chickens as other coops.
Damn. Oh wellno, not at all.
a dog’s sense of smell is somewhere around 100,000x more powerful than ours and a coyote’s is so strong they can smell prey buried under snow.
Lmao, no he does not pee in the fence. He objects because he thinks I am getting overly obsessive and spending too much money on three chickens. He thinks it would be cheaper just to get more chickens if these ones get killed. I don't see it that way because I feel as though the predators will just keep coming back and killing chickens once they realize there is an easy meal.Does he also pee on the fence???..

I wish! That would be great!, But I only have a half acre and I live near a street, so I don't think it would work well. I would absolutely love to have big dogs thoughNot sure if this is an option, but we use lgds to guard against predators. They are a great deterrent, but if a predator gets in their "territory" it's usually a pretty quick solution.
We have 9 Anatolian Sheppards, granted they have a sheep and goat herd to protect as well and a lot of area to patrol. They do it with minimal training. A single or preferably pair will stop anything short of a mt lion or bear.
I , totally agree withthat. I had a rescue LGD for 3years until she got cancer. Never lost a chicken, all chickens freeranged on 2 acres. She slept in the open or in the barn. Sure miss tht gal.Not sure if this is an option, but we use lgds to guard against predators.
