RE: Coyote Attack - 1 lost chicken

in #homesteading7 years ago

We have coyotes, foxes, bobo cats, raccoons, etc, etc but the only thing I have ever lost livestock to is stray dogs or cats. The wild animals respect the electric fences and are a lot more cautious of possible danger. The domestic strays have no fear and kill for fun not food. Hope you get your guilty party. You know your a homesteader if you don't realize your naked until your half way in the woods with a flashlight and gun but no cloths or shoes.

Sort:  

We have all of those predators in our area. We have never lost an animal inside the electric fence but have lost a few that escape the fence.

I haven't gotten an eye on the coyote yet but I hear them howling most nights. They tried and failed to get into the rabbit tractor a few nights ago.
