Do you think there might be a den close to your home or in the woods around your neighborhood? Perhaps host a neighborhood meeting so that everyone can get on the same page as far as securing garbage, food, bird seed or anything else they may be after? I assume they are not acting rabid?  Sent

The increase in coyote population is because (1) they are amazingly able to adapt to their environment. (There aren't a lot of free-ranging chickens in Southie or Newton, but coyotes are there anyway); (2) they have no natural predators because there are no wolves or mountain lions here; and (3) pe

Rachel, Thanks for clarifying Codman’s chicken protection. I have been wondering why the apparent increase in coyotes and thought the “chicken fields’” seemed like a possible partial explanation. I’m wondering how many chickens they still lose to predators. Until we built a chicken fortress,

Dear All, It depends. The laying flock has a guard dog, Sophie, specifically trained to guard chickens. In addition, there are multiple electrified fences around them. The chickens raised for meat are in enclosed coops. I haven't been out there in a while, so there might be fences there, too, b

Coyotes are opportunists. There are many different types of tasty snacks for coyotes around here -- rabbits, squirrels, turkeys, chipmunks, fawns and sick deer, etc. Coyotes are more likely to go after chickens and cats if they are allowed to roam.
