Predator Problems. Whats your Worst?

Slimy little things get through almost anything

Yeppp.

No predators. My dog has kept them all away, most of the time I don’t lock my chickens up. I haven’t lost one from anything besides a rat in years.

A bobcat got in our turkey coop and killed 3 of our beautiful adult turkeys. A raccoon killed one of our rabbits because it got it's hands through the dog cage she was in. A few weeks later our barn cat got killed by a coyote. Lost a few chicks when the garage door got left open and something ripped through the brooder. Also something got into our turkey coop and got 4 of my turkey hens eggs, the rest of them hatched and 2 died. We have set out game cams and have caught a lot of bobcat activity and raccons. This has all happened in 2 years. This stuff happens when you live out in the country.
