Rooster Reserve Corps

[Bug n Flock]

Those young roos were not attacking predators and getting defeated. They were just gobbled up like chicken nuggets.

Okay, thank you this is the kind of feedback I am looking for. If getting spurred in the face is not enough to make a coyote back off, then my plan is not going to work.

Best thing for a Coyote or something hunting your flock is a good old gun, tif they are harassing your birds or coming on your property with intention of eating your birds you can shoot them, but you'd better be a dang good shot cause if your gonna shoot you shoot to kill

I wish I could! It is illegal to shoot a firearm where I live. I don't know if it would be allowed if pets are in danger, but probably not even then.

The electric fence keeps most of them out, but sometimes it's not enough for a very hungry coyote.

How sad. Maybe they were not old enough to be good flock protectors.

I have called and left a message before. We have a county trapper that traps and culls coyotes if they threaten humans or pets. They get too many calls to respond to everyone, so I am not optimistic that they will do anything here.

In conclusion, it sounds like my plan is a bust. So when I do my springtime hatch I will slaughter the males instead of trying to raise them.
