Wow...that flock free thing looks super cool. So far living here I haven't seen any hawks...we had quite a few at the place we used to live, and I feel certain there are some here somewhere...but so far no hawks have been spotted...have to wait til spring when all the predatory critters come back out.

Oh Sally, that video was horrible! Oh my gosh, I had to stop it. I need to finish my runs and make them strong, I can see that! I don't want that to happen to my birds, ever! Oh dear! (shivers)

my 2 dogs are aussie/wolf mixes. so far they've been really good and have left the chickens alone. However, they did manage to corner and trap a coyote, so I figure they're doing pretty good at keeping the predators away.

your dogs rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Miss! what part of the country? what type predators?

 

[Shellz]

nope. just cornered it. I called animal control but all they did was scare back to the wild! but haven't had any coyotes on the property since! I hear them though and the dogs start howling, but I haven't had one show up, lol. my neighbors on the other hand have had their sheep and other livestock attacked by mountain lion (cougar?) bobcats and coyotes. So my boys are doing good! They even left my daughter a present on her birthday last year! it was funny, I took a pick of the "gift" and then of Shamus with a big ol' smile on his face as if to say..."see mom, we did good!" LOL

Good doggie!!! Great pics! Great protectors!

they have a video of the invasions, NO WAY would I deal with them!!
It grossed me out when I saw 8+ vultures sitting on a kids playset right out her window! I can imagine the feces!

Here is a video from our woods last week. Excuse my kids screaming!
