So the cops came today to chase a bear out of my backyard while I was at work. In suburbia.
Bears aren't that uncommon here but I have never had one bother my flock. Well it got one of my chickens this time. Most of them were locked up in their run, but two got out to range this morning. Didn't think anything of letting them run around since we're surrounded be neighbors with dogs.
So I'm bummed but now I have to wonder if the bear will be back and this time go into the run. It's hardware cloth and welded wire, but that won't stop a bear. Any advice?
