Everyone has to be concerned about chicken predators but yours must be especially tough to deal with. We have our share but no crocs (thank goodness)!

If you haven't already, maybe you'd like to chat with other members from your part of the planet. They may have some ideas on how to deal with local predators:

Hope you like it here, always nice to have another chicken mad member!
