Trying to nip this in the bud.

[Bigtom Turkey]

So, some context as of about a week and a half ago we lost a goat kid to the cold. So I used my thinker and thought it would be a good idea to place the dead kid on the outskirts of the property to keep the predators at bay *face palm*. So now I have a coyote problem; they are coming onto the property so far not killing but I am worried for my animals. I am looking for ideas how how to keep them away not kill (although I am not against it) but just try to keep a balence betwen my animals and the wild animals.

In case this info helps I have:
2 goats
3 rabbits
8 chickens
4 ducks
and gonna be 3 turkeys

Can you trap the coyote?

If the predator is coming onto the property it’s only a matter of time before it gets what its looking for.

Do you have any dogs?

Killing or trapping a coyote shouldn’t mess with the natural cycle of things.

Coyotes hunt in packs. Trapping one would do nothing.

Yeah, we do have dogs a german sheperd dog that wights 115lbs but they are in a fence so they don't leave. I thought about trapping it but we can't find traps for cheap. I have the foot traps but don't want risk catching a barn cat. I was kinda hoping there was like plant or color or something to deter them that way.

You need to kill or have traps set up. They will always stay around where they know food is.
If you don't want to kill them you could find a local hunter to help you out.

Is there a way to, like, let my dog pee on the fece? Would that do anything?>

 

[hysop]

As mentioned, there are people who trap and/or kill coyotes for you. I’m sure you can find a contact info for someone in your area via social media or Google

But you definitely wanna act fast because they won’t leave.
Shooting them down one by one will deter them I think

They do not always hunt in packs.

 

[Bigtom Turkey]

No I am not against killing them, but rather detering them. I will kill if I have too though to protect my animals.

It's a possibility. My lab if he sees any type of animal come near the yard he chases it off but I know he couldn't stand a chance with a pack of coyotes, but he pees all over our trees and we have never seen a coyote so it may be a deter for coyotes.
