Official BYC Poll: How Do You Protect Your Chickens From Predators?

[TioBollio]

In 8 years We have never lost a chicken, to predators or anything else.

That is an amazing track record!
In 10 years, I've lost a few to hawks, maybe 5 to raccoons, and a lunatic coyote took half my flock a few years ago.
Most issues (except for the hawks) were my failing to protect them.
The coyote? Sometimes free range can be dangerous.

I've never thought of some of these things!
