[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 259479, member: 816"] only thing that gets our chickens these days are the neighbors dog too. and usually in the middle of the day when we are gone. a few times when we are around. free range during the day. son of a bitch comes from a mile away. our coop is a pretty big steel shed. spray foamed. then sheeted. they will peck and eat the foamif not sheeted. coop door that closes and opens at dawn and dark into a regular fenced in run. the chickens will hop the fence every morning. when we leave for work, we open the gate for the ducks. close the gate every night. we have night lights around the fence on the top and a motion light above the door. the lights alone seem to keep any night time predators at bay for some reason. its a learning curve. you are bound to lose a few here and there. but, if it wasn't for the neighbors dog, we wouldn't have lost any in the last 3 years that i can remember. pondered shooting the fucker since the neighbor doesn't get the message and doesn't ever offer to pay for the damage his dog has done. but, its just a bird. and dogs are somewhat important to most families. although, i question how important this one is to them since my wife has threatened to shoot it more than once and it continues to happen.
