Hi from North FL!

[SheepyHollow]

We run a small sheep farm and are looking to expand our chicken flock, to double egg production, but first need to terminate a predator that has been preying on our ladies over the past few days.

So im here for guidance on how best to capture this thing. Also looking for ideas on how best to expand our existing chicken house.

Hi, it's nice to have you here! Do you know what type of predator is giving you problems? You can get advice on how to handle them here:
Predators and Pests

There's also a section in the Learning Center on predators that might be helpful:
predators-pests.28

Good luck!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Electric fencing goes a long way to protecting birds from ground predators.
