Does it take for predators to find your coop?
I just moved the girls out to the barn 2 nights ago. So far so good, nothing has gotten in. No signs of anything trying to get in. But I'm wondering if its just because they dont know there is chickens in there. Really unless they were walking by and heard or sniffed them you wouldnt know. But how long do I really have.
Its nothing but woods behind us, so we pretty much have every type of predator. I am hoping the smell of my dogs help keep them away. In the years we have been here, I have never seen a raccoon in our area, our trash has never been knocked over. We do hear the coyotes howl behind us once in a while though.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
