Predators

July26

It is possible to design a coop that will keep chickens safe from raccoons, dogs, foxes or whatever other predators exist in your area. Most places in Cary should not have to worry about anything larger than a raccoon or a dog. There are many coop designs that give detailed instructions on how to secure a coop from the common predators. Too ensure the safety of the hens and to reduce the likelihood of attracting predators, a permit for the coop should be required from the town building or animal control departments.
