What predators should i look out for

[chickking]

I am getting more chicks this april and i want to know what predators should i look for? I live in Ohio and i haven't seen anything other than one fox and it did bother my chicks but didnt hurt any.

More chicks....you already have chickens...for how long? If you've already had chickens for awhile you should know by now I would think. You've seen fox and it hasn't bothered your chickens? What kind of coop/run do you have?
Other than fox.......there's dogs, coons, possums, weasels, hawks......maybe cats, snakes.

I wasn't as lucky as the O.P. with the fox around here. They caused a lot of hurt.

Predators won't always warn you when they are in the area so even if you don't see them it is probably best to assume that you have a variety of four-legged and winged predators close by.
