We moved into our new home right before Thanksgiving. There is a shed out back that would be perfect for a coop - I would start my flock this spring however..... since we have lived here I have seen a HUGE hawk, an owl, racoons in my yard, heard coyotes and have been told about foxes. I'm sure there are more preds around.... as I prepare, I would appreciate any advice as to methods and/or steps I need to take to keep the birds safe. I was hoping to free range in the day, but now I am not sure. We don't have a dog right now, so that won't be a deterrant for the wildlife around...
