I agree Buck. They will find their way back once they know where the food is!

that might work but see, i killed my babies. so if it has children, it would tech them how to hunt ducks lilke it did and when those pups get older there might find their way back to where i caught the first one. And then the cycle would continue 

That is possible but i just really don't like killing animals.Im probably going to die because I let a cougar live around my property and then it ends up killing me or something retarded like that im always giving animals the benefit of the doubt you do what you want I can't believe your dogs haven't masacred it yet! Last year we found the fox that had been stalking around my coop with its neck broke in our field our dogs had chased it down and brutally killed it.

I hate having to do it. I always feel terrible, except for the skunk that massacred my quail and left the aviary littered with dead and dying birds. I feel bad when they are just trying to survive, not so much when they are killing for fun...

Ok the killing for fun is when I pull out a machete.That pisses me off.The surviving thing just makes me sad for my flock and in that case I try and find a way to compromise with the wild animal.Thats why I get so mad when a dog hurts one of my cats/birds because they get fed free food they don't have to work for every day and just wanted to watch that animal die slowly.

I was beside myself when I saw 250 square feet of quail bodies that morning. I saw red. It was only after I shot the skunk multiple times in a blind rage that I realized I was standing outside brandishing a firearm in my underwear.....

Well thanks...I think

It's raining/snowing so it's pretty nasty outside but my flock isn't affected they are enjoying the newly laid down shavings and fresh food/water i got this Flock Block for my poultry and they just love it! Especially the waterfowl which I actually wasn't expecting! I just moved them into their new coop today & it's really really nice to know everyone is safe & sound with no weather situations & no more predator worries so

the pet carriers are for laying in & my goose Assyra has taken one over with her chicken eggs she is totally broody and I can't wait to see what she hatches! The bunnies are in the coop too they get along well with my flock and once I get more established in the coop im going to let some of my cats sleep in the loft. I always am making the oddest species coexist with one another and usually have no problems! That's how all our animals are here everyone gets along with everyone & we try our best not to get animals that will destroy the peace.& my chicks brooder is going to be covered before nightfall so they don't get pooped on they keep roosting on it

Ok well I'm wishing everyone a wonderful spring! Ours just started!

i love that coop ,<3

our dogs aren't allowed to roam free, we have a backyard and a long running pen for them , and they get the garage to sleep in at night, and my ducks have to stay outside

Same here.

Another problem with relocating animals is that foxes (and other predators) have territories, so when you relocate them you may be unintentionally dropping them off in another animals territory, in which case they may be killed or run off anyway, and even if that doesn't happen, you may be dropping a problem off on someone else.

Aw that sucks.Our dogs get free reign of the property and do whatever they want none of them kill animals (excluding wild animals) except our dog Rex he's part wolf and he kills all animals he can catch.He eats them too.

He stays on a 100' line.
