What are the best coyote deterrents?

[June2012]

I planned on fencing my yard with hot wire, but my city doesn't allow electric fencing.

What are the best coyote deterrents that you know of besides an electric fence? (Other than installing wire into the ground to prevent digging. Soil doesn't allow for that ) Thanks!!

I lock mine up at night in their coop to prevent predator loss. Do they have a run?

An apron around your coop and run will work well, and a very secure run. Having the birds outside only when you are there, and with your chicken safe large tough dog.
If it were only the coyotes! Raccoons, foxes, possums, rats, everyone loves chicken!

I have one dog who sleeps through everything. I swear, she doesn't have any natural instincts LOL

I'd like to have quail in tractors. Quail don't really go into coops at night like chickens do. :/ But I guess a coop might be the only way?

I have the “night guards” which I think help and we live in the mountains where coyotes are plentiful. We transfer our ducks to a enclosed shed tho. Our turkeys stay out in run that isn’t very secure but nothing has broke through it’s been a year. We have security motion lights. Two dogs that we let out a lot I’m sure they mark territory or something. Two cats that once in a while stay out overnight. We have a neighbor who I talked to once we moved up in the mountains that had ducks and turkeys outside just like us I asked her if she had predators get anything because there’s coyotes, bob cats, raccoons, fishers, Fox all around here. Well she said she’d never had anything get her birds ever. She said she believe it’s beacuse she has 30 - yes not a typo 30 outdoor cats. Lol just an idea.
