Have you been successful in preventing mongoose from attacking your birds?Needing to build a coop for my 15 meaties arriving in a few weeks. Don't want to get too fancy, but want to protect. Mongoose are the biggest threat here-will they really take out a large chicken? Babies are a guarantee but bigger ones?
I'm told they go after the eggs ... I am a newbee but my neighbor said that was her biggest concern.I'm no expert at all but read that mongoose only try to get chicks because they're attracted to the peeping. Not adult birds. But my source could be wrong lol
