On High Weasel Alert!

[marleylulu]

There are weasels in the neighbourhood and have already gotten ALL my ducks! I keep my chickens in at night. There coop has old log walls and I have put card board over to prevent any animals coming throw the holes at night. But I`m still VERY uneasy about the weasels. I have 5 chickens, 3 road island red hens, 1 White jersey giant hen, and 1 white jersey giant rooster. Do you guys have any ideas on how to prevent predators from invading my coop? Any help is appreciated! Thanks

I don't think cardboard is going to stop a weasel they will chew right through. Can you tack hardware cloth over the holes?

Yes that would be a great idea! And I put up the cardboard for better instalation due to the cold canadien weather.
