Thanks. I appreciate the ideas. I think I may have my 3 DS's go out and pee around the chicken area. Lol, they will get a kick out of that!
Do you have a Cabelas or Sunbird or another hunting supply store nearby? You can get small bottles of predator urine, such as 'yote, feral boar, red fox, even cougar or bear if you can find it. I did just risk typing the word urine in a Google search (plus "predator deter" ) to check what other ones might be available and found http://www.thepeemart.com/ that offers all kinds of different deterrents! I know you need it right away so web order might not be a timely enough solution, but hopefully might help to light the idea bulb. It helped a former coworker who had aggressive raccoons invading her yard and attacking her cats so they could steal the cat food, but she was against any kind of lethal solution Also against ceasing to put food outside.. 'yote urine from Cabelas dabbed around her fencing and the masked visitors crossed her off their 5-star restaurant list.
