[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2780532, member: 91783"] There are several things that people do to keep coyotes and such away from the free ranging birds They sell several noise making devices that you can run with batteries some of them are made that use ultrasonic sounds they make reflective plastic ribbons that you hang, and the wind blows it called flagging now several people have enclosers that they move around to let their chickens eat greens and insects, that as you open your coop door you let them enter close the door on them and slide it to where you want them to eat for a while. For sheep, people run guard dogs such as great pyrenes or lamas some still run donkeys, there are those that run a propane cannon, but they are kind obnoxious. The guard animals are raised with the animals they will be protecting so they then feel they are part of that pack. People put out bait stations that are at a known distance, where it's legal, to shoot over them, meat scraps from a processing plant or bones from a butcher shop animal carcass of livestock that have died, most states say it's not legal to use any game animals or parts thereof for baiting to discourage illegal taking of game animals for it, while some allow road kills to be used. The use of traps and snares is not an overnight thing to learn and trail sets tend to catch too many deer and other things that aren't wanted catches till you learn how to avoid them. You can use a motion sensor solar powered light system or a noise making motion sensor system, at your chicken house. Coyotes being coyotes they tend to adapt to whatever you use if you use it for any length of time before changing your tactics, you then can go back to what you were using after giving it a good rest period and have some success with it again. I haven't had any luck using any scent as a deterrent they are cautious of human odor, but it sounds like these coyotes have become accustomed to it.
