I have to look at bears as the obvious example. We have a local sow bear, though I have never seen it. My neighbor reported she was hanging out in their yard though, tearing up their saplings. I'm fully aware that short of electric fencing or steel walls, a bear can pretty much get into whatever it wants. So sorry chickens, if Ms. Bear decides to have chicken for dinner, I'm hiding inside the house (though from all reports she's lazy and goes for easy meals like bird feeders and cat food dishes).
With other things, I'd either send my hubby out or at least one of our dogs. Had a small coyote eyeing the run back in December and I heard the chickens alarm call, so I ran out with an axe handle, but it was already hightailing it out of there. In hindsight I should've brought my Anatolian with me too.
