Had a new predator, 2 legged (human)

[Twoleggedmotherhen]

This morning discovered we had a new predator, 2 legged (human). Coop and run are inside our fenced area. First thing I noticed was the top slide lock was not in proper position. The next was the light was switched from timer to "ON". We don't switch it off timer. The 2 girls that lay early in the morning, no eggs. Went to the Game Cam, sure enough a male was at the coop. Got video of it all. Called landlord and he came over & watched the video. He is taking care of it.
I put hasps and padlocks on the coop door and run door this afternoon. That was the only type of predator I hadn't done protection from.

Your up the road a long ways from me but would also let the dog out or shoot a shot over the head

Thinking a like, got the gun out, locked & loaded. Live in the country, hear gun fire now & then.

Coop and run are now padlocked as is the gate of the fence. We had gas siphoned out of the vehicle once, a couple of years ago. Both vehicles have locking gas caps after that. These are the only 2 things happen in the years we have been here. Landlord confirmed who I thought it was. Yes he is always under the influence of something.

We are a 1/4 mile off the main highway. Street dead ends at our place. It's very quiet, except when the coyotes are howling. We know who it is and the landlord is taking care of him.
