Predators & Pests

Predators and pests are always a concern no matter what type of housing system is used. The specific predators and pests you encounter will depend on your location and area. No matter where you live, dogs are most likely going to be the number one predator.

Predators

The best way to protect chickens from predators is to prevent them from entering the coop. You can do that by making sure doors, corners and fencing along the ground of your coop are secure. To keep predators out, you will need to line openings with strong grid wire, not chicken wire. As mentioned before, if you would like to let your chickens roam, using electric fence netting is a great option to keep predators away.
