We want our chickens to mostly forage so we only give them limited feed. So not really. People around here shoot lions on sight.

Yeah...I am not crazy about the idea of something in the woods being able to kill me.

Exactly! I will stay at the top of the food chain. It's why I don't live in Florida. When I lived there, it was like every month a jogger was being dragged into the woods by a gator...No thanks!

I was thinking do you guys have problems with squirrels?

They are not as bad as in the city. They have no natural predators in the city. Out here, lots of things eat squirrels. Saw an eagle carry one off last winter. It was amazing. The eagle came out of nowhere and and grabbed him and off it went.

I did not think about that...how do you keep your chickens safe when predators are all around?
