A predator can pretty much do whatever they want with a tractor, especially if any wire is chicken wire instead of 1/2" hardware cloth. It's just a matter of time till a predator does.

People on here often say "they've never had predator attacks in x many years." Then come home to a total massacre. This is true of regular coops, runs etc. Complacency is a bad thing.

Thank you for saying this. I wanted to say something like it, but I've been having trouble wording things to where I don't offend others.
