Hello,
I have a bobcat and hawk problem. After 2 1/2 years with no losses, yesterday I lost 4 birds to hawks. My girls are in a fenced area but the area is large enough for the hawks to grab them. Until I solve this they will have to stay in the coop unless I let them out late afternoon and stay outside with them.
I had planned on putting fencing to the side of their coop anyway to keep them to a smaller location so grasses could grow and I would let them outside late afternoon to eat then return to coop on their own.
I'm looking for suggestions on the design and materials. I'll have an auto closing door to the coop for the nights and open in the morning. Creative solutions appreciated!
