Predator Control In & Out Of The Coop
Predator proofing your coop against animals is as individual as each chicken coop is different. Here at Blue Star Ranch in Austin Texas we help our customers BEFORE break ins occur in your coop. Some animal proofing works for some chicken owners, but it may not work for you. In MOST cases you may have to try several of these methods and or a combination of methods to see what is best for your coop to prevent predators.
In ALL cases building the BEST and STRONGEST coop and predatorproofing your coop BEFORE you get started is the best way to have chickens in the morning. Remember, predators may still try to get into your coop.
Remember, hungry predators have been around for millions of years.
Available Coop Cameras With Cell Phone Alert
If adult chickens are missing from your coop but there are no other signs of disturbance exist, the predator probably is a dog, a coyote, a fox, a bobcat, a hawk, or an owl. These predators typically are able to kill, pick up, and carry off an adult chicken. Hawks typically take chickens during the day, whereas owls take them during the night.
There are not too many things to stop a very hungry critter from eating your chickens if you free range.
Especially if you are new to chickens - build a predator proof coop (and keep chickens inside for protection) as the BEST solution to prevent the loss of chickens from free ranging.
