3 Dog Family Members are Chicken Coop Predators – How to Avoid Them by Planning Your Chicken Coop

Chicken coop predators can be a headache for those raising chickens. 3 members of the dog family make it to list of the top chicken coop predators. Make it a point to know what dog predators you have in your community. From here, you can set up a plan which includes the appropriate measures for dealing with these animals. Here are the top three dogs that are chicken coop predators:

Coyote

As member of the dog family, coyotes are one of the most notorious chicken coop predators and are most active hunting for food at night time. Lately however, coyotes have already adapted to the presence of people and have become active even during day time especially during cooler months. Coyotes usually prey on chickens, geese, ducks, and other fowls. Shooting these predators can be a futile way of preventing them from attacking back. Make sure that you provide a trap or keep the coop coyote-proof.

Fox

Foxes are the next dog family member that is a known predator to poultry birds. They can be highly skilled hunters and primarily nocturnal. Like coyotes, they have also learned recently to hunt during daylight hours. They are very sneaky and intelligent. Foxes normally attack at least 2 hours after sunset or 2 hours just before sunrise. Furthermore, they carry the livestock far away for the owner not to trace it.

Domestic Dogs

The neighborhood dogs are one of obvious predators proven to be very destructive to your livestock. Even your own dog can be potentially a predator if not controlled. Train your very own pet dog not to harm your chickens.

Effective Solutions

One effective solution to deter these predators is to keep the chickens locked in the coop. The coop should be made of solid wood as well if you want to keep the predators outside. Predators, however, can get tricky and can dig into the ground so make sure that the chicken wire fencing is also planted into the ground. Moreover, ensure that there are no holes where these predators can get in. These animals can enter the chicken house through the small holes and will definitely prey on your pets once they get through into the coop.

In planning your chicken coop, make sure you have the right strategies to avoid these predators getting at your chickens especially the chicks. Know them well and your best bet is to prevent them from entering the coop by making that chicken house predator-proof.

A Little About Calling Predators

I got started calling predators in general before I focused on coyote hunting. When I started, I wanted to call in a bobcat, because I had this urge at the time to have a bobcat mounted in my living room. I actually still want this, but I don’t quite have the motivation I once did. I read some magazines and found out I was in need of a rabbit-in-distress mouth call. This is an all around good choice when doing any type of predator calling. It is effective to about any predator that is in range of the sound. I first put this call to the test one night in a field sitting below a tree. I called for about half an hour and had no luck. I decided to move, and when I did an owl flew off of a branch that was right over my head. I had to check my pants after that ha.

That pretty much sums up my first time calling in a predator, even though it was an owl. I still love my rabbit-in-distress call to this day and it is always included in my assortment of animal calls whenever I go hunting. Don’t just think I take them whenever I predator hunt, I take my calls no matter what animal I am hunting. You never know when you will get to experience the thrill of calling in an animal.

My future articles will include more about this type of mouth call, The point I was making here is that any predator call can be used to do just about any type of predator calling. There are some animal specific calls, but a lot of them are very versatile. I will discuss these in more detail in the future.

TBR Outdoors staff member Richie Rhea discusses the effects of Mange and how to avoid spreading the disease from one coyote to another. Removal of coyotes who have contracted the Mange is very important. “Mange” is a class of persistent contagious skin diseases caused by parasitic mites. These mites embed themselves either in hair follicles or skin, depending upon their type. See more of TBR Outdoors footage here at youtube or by going to http:\\www.tbroutdoors.com\products.html
