Predator proofing your chicken coop

Several different methods here are used to protect our chickens from predators. Some predators like raccoons, opossums, and minks are just some that will prey on your flock of chickens. If not properly protected you will lose your continuously until they are eventually gone. So protect your investment and secure yourself a steady egg supply.

Looks like you got every entrance covered, Except for the 2 Legged Possums. 😉

@@user-xc6ym5xc9t that’s the plan. I did get a mink in the lot and it killed 55 chickens. Turned out it squeezed thru the chain link fence and got in. Wasn’t expecting that. We didn’t even know they were around here. We got it mink proof now.

Great information as always. You got me ready to start building our coop but I really would like to wait til it’s cooler.

@@MelanchthonCreekFarm yes I definitely would do that. That’s when I’m building the run.
