I think dogs are the best answer to wildlife predation of stock and theft too. Nothing wants a couple of 200 pound plus dogs going after it.

any large dog is good...i had german sheperds for yrs and nothing came around....not even deer...i figured once i get my sons mom here ill get him another dog. my cousin marco petrella in italy is one of the largest great pryranese breeders in the world. He ships pups all over the world. In the mountains of italy they have a wolf problem.

A week ago I had 21 birds. As of this morning, I think I'm down to 2 roosters and 2 hens. Tore another hole in the shed and killed 4 or 5 more last night. I've killed nearly 10 coons this past week and they just keep coming. Getting very frustrating.

if you guys arnt smart enough to build something to keep the coons out you should figure what you have in the chickens (feed, price of birds, time taking care of them) plus what the coon will bring you this winter(what a waist just throwing them away} after all they have been there for years and a lot more to replace the ones you kill your the ones feeding them. you can buy eggs from the neighbor that can keep them out and probably have money left over.

I honestly don't know why you're responding to a subject you seem to be clueless about. Have you seen my coop? Have you seen the holes they've torn in the wood walls to get in? Your neighbor sounds like an idiot, but it also sounds like it's contagious.
