Bear! Thats about the only thing that could get in my coop, there are a few bear sightings every couple of years in my area, and the last one did get into someones chicken coop! If I ever see one on my cameras I will go full electric fence wire and bait it with bacon...

Hopefully I won't need to though.
Hopefully you and chickens stay safe! They wander through here occasionally every summer, usually late afternoon, early evening or at night. Chickens have always been in the coop and not out free ranging thankfully. I always worry a bear will rip through the run and destroy the coop, chickens and all, I've gotten lucky so far! :fl
 
There have been Black bear sightings 50ish miles north of here, and one 30ish. Hope I never see one on our property. We have bees, and the hive would be totalled. I don't know if they'd come up to the house -- chicken coop is next to the garage. Are they put off by the scent of dogs? I'd guess not.

I really like bears... teddy bears.

Yes I would imagine your hives would attract bears, they love the sweet stuff. I've had bears on the porch destroying my hummingbird feeders, waking me up in the middle of the night! :rant

Oh I would've been so dead I'd that happened to me. I would scream so loud my screams would be heard in America

I've had it happen a few of times in the night, coons get into them too. Trust me, I'm screaming mad too, it's a wonder I haven't had a stroke with the shooting high blood pressure waking me up out of a deep sleep. :barnie :lau
