I always laugh when people start a topic of discussion here on BYC, and then don't want to hear what everyone thinks about the topic they started :rolleyes: Just happened to me in the feeding ducks thread. The topic of fermented feed came up, people were sharing what they thought about it (most not fans), I added my thoughts on the matter, and the person who brought it up pretty much tried to chastise me for replying because 'someone already answered' and 'they didn't want to start a long thread with people piling on'. Fermented feed is a totally valid topic in a thread about feeding ducks, and there's no reason for me not to reply about it when the topic was broached :confused:

Anyways, I forgot to update you all on the ko shamo pullet. She's healing up well. Her comb is pretty scabby, but she's doing great. I'm hoping she doesn't scar because I'd like to be able to show her; we'll see what happens.
I know right? :rant
And then there was the thousands of dollars to raise ducks comment by our other friend. :thhow rude. :rant
 
From Ask a naturalist site:
http://askanaturalist.com/are-coyotes-always-in-packs/

""As I approached the large coyote enclosure, the zoo’s pair began howling. I had never been that close to howling coyotes before and what surprised me was that it sounded just like what I had always interpreted as “a large pack of coyotes killing something.” But it was only two animals, sitting on opposite ends of their enclosure, singing to the morning.

So their howling song can be misleading. You might think you have a large pack living near you, when it’s just a pair.""

They hunt singly... or in pairs.
from:
https://urbancoyoteresearch.com/coyote-info/general-information-about-coyotes

""Although coyotes live in family groups, they usually travel and hunt alone or in loose pairs. In this way they are different from wolves, which sometimes leads to the impression that coyotes do not form packs since they are usually seen alone.""

So Coyotes to form packs... but they dont hunt in packs... Generally. But coyotes are very adaptable. And opportunistic... They mostly eat rodents and fruit when they get it.

Speaking as one who has lost three flocks to coyotes.... They usually take one or two chickens at a time... Most I have lost at once was four. Probably feeding pups.

My friend was out running, and watched a group work in a pack. A lone coyote walked out, limped around, and got the attention of my friend's dog. Then the whole group (she didn't count) came out and went after her dog.
