My biggest predator is the feed store.

Wow, that's scary... I'd just bring the chickens in the house.... final answer.

My girls just found a baby alligator on the back of our property yesterday. I hadn't even considered one getting close to my birds. I didn't have to worry long because the neighborhood Cooper's Hawk flew down and killed it. The hawks and eagles kill everything here.

YIKES!! So glad I am on the other side of the country. Seems much safer here.

Keep him well fed with the neighborhood's stray dogs and other predators?
Maybe if he eats his fill of dogs (and the occassional annoying neighbor), he won't be interested in a little ol' chicken.

I know crocs are endangered and aren't gators protected?? I think that would make shooting either illegal without proper permitting etc??

According to some things I read from the U of florida a 4.5 ft or taller sturdy fence will keep full size gators out, apparently the juveniles can climb much better.

Yes, they are protected...stupidly because the numbers are increasing. any Nuisance Gaters we just call and they send out an expert to catch and release. If I lived far enough out...I would use the SSS method

Yes, Florida is full of alligators. Just full of them. They'll eat your yappy little dog if you're fool enough to let them harass them. Snakes. We have snakes too! Many of them venomous. Stay away from the water because the moccasins can be aggressive and are easily annoyed.

And the fire ants! They'll get into everything. Even your homes and cars.

Sand spurs, cacti, poison ivy, stinging nettles, cat briers. We have them all.

Makes all that snow and ice more attractive doesn't it?
