New to BYC. I’ve been raising chickens for about 10 years, starting with 3 velociraptors, oh, I mean gold sex links. Most of my chickens now are Rhode Island Reds or Black Australorps. I also have an Olive Egger Rooster and a Copper Maran Rooster. I like fun egg colors.
I’ve been having serious trouble with coyotes and raccoons. I have an electric net around coop, but many have figured out how to get out.
I have several broody hens, but eggs are disappearing-I think from snakes
Thanks!

Hi, sorry for your trouble with predators. Does your flock have a covered enclosed run they can be kept in to safeguard them?
