x2 what jack said. We live in the sticks. We have lost 11 chickens and 1 female yorkie in the last year. I did 2 things and no losses for 4 months now.
1st I brought in 2 great Pyrenees one males 6 months and other female is 4 months now.
2nd I updated my ar-15 with a night scope and have provided 1 coyote meal for the great Pyrenees. We free range our birds every day then back to the coop at night. I have learned that some may be lost and have learned to live with that. It kind of allows us to add more birds each year to a aging flock without having to cull any. although I suspect that's gonna change since the 2 things have been put in play.
