over the past 3 years they’ve gotten over 50 of my chickens
I was at the verge of giving it up
traps work well on fox
Get yourself a McNab dog. You’ll never lose another chicken to predation. I was losing several a week to Coyotes. After I bought the dog and when he got about 4 months old he started acting like he needed to go outside to pee, instead he took off like a shot out of the door straight to the back pasture where the Coyotes ventured in from. I thought I had sent him to his death.
About 10 minutes later he came back and that was the beginning of the end of my predation problem. The dog knows how many chickens we have and if one doesn’t come back into the coop at night, you know how some hens are, he goes and searches them out and herds them back to the coop. Man, I love that little dog.
