    We have raised Ducks, and chickens for quite a few years. We have had issues with our birds disappearing and figured out we had raccoons as well. If the birds where perched, I would say the predator maybe a raccoon. So hard to tell in the country. Keep your eyes peeled for all sorts of tracks (raccoon, fox, coyote). I am so sorry for your loss. It is just like missing a family member. It might sound awful, but if you find any remains of your bird(s), I would use it as bait. We have taken live traps and put the bait in it. Best of luck and I hope you get the predator that took your babies.

    My dad is a fairly focused coyote hunter in northern Minnesota. We do a lot of fishing. When we get done cleaning the fish we have a drop pile of fish remains after filtering them a ways off from the house but well within shooting range. This stuff lured coyotes and other predators to a specific spot. If you have leftovers from geese or other animals, put em out where you can get em and try to shoot em at your own terms

    Howdy from South Texas. Most Folks down here who Ranch have been using Rhodesian Ridge backs for probably about 30 plus years now. They have been bred to reach up to about 200 lbs. average weight over the past 30 years down here in South Texas. These dogs will easily take down a 1500 lb. cow as they are bred for working cattle in South Texas. These dogs are fearless and are very protective. They work best in tandem or packs. They will easily run down and kill Coyotes, they actually like to do it. I have seen several Ridge Backs hunt down and kill 15 to twenty Coyotes from the same pack if given the command to do it. They are good with people and great companions for kids. They will instinctively protect your livestock and property. A trained year old Ridge Back from down here will run you around 6500 Dollars. Having at least two is highly recommended. Good Luck, EAST RANCH.

    If there’s a lot of feathers around it was probably a coon. Yotes will grab and run and not leave really any feathers. The dog could definitely been a yote or even a owl or hawk. We lost one to a owl once

  • @johnndavis7647
    @johnndavis7647 Před 4 lety

    Sorry for your loss. First thing to do when you move onto country land is build good tight fences.
    Fence around the property. Then fence around your house. Put your chicken house on the bedroom side of your house close enough so you can hear them if anything disturbs them at night. All stock needs to be kept within rifle shot of your house at night.
    If you can, run your tractor with a disc around the inside of your fence perimeter so you can clearly see where the coyotes are getting in and where they are coming from. Disc the perimeter once a month if you can.
    Think layers of security.
    Hog wire fence with 2x4 on the bottom half and 4x4 on the top half.
    Put your stock up at night. Set live traps up against the chicken coop and run.
    Everything eats a chicken so dont stop when you catch something.
    Good luck.

    Bobby, a friend of ours had a similar problem with his chickens and ducks.

He said he hasn't had a problem since.

    Get a bunch of guineas man. Those birds can be viscous and you’ll definitely hear them if they have been spooked. Get a live trap too. Sounds like it was actually a coon or a fox. They do tons of damage since they aren’t big enough to snatch and grab. I had a coon pop the head off a turkey and eat the other one completely and there were feathers everywhere. Hope you get em

    Bobbie!! I had the same exact problem. We live on a crick and I would walk outside in the middle of day and chase a coyote out of our yard. It had gotten so comfortable with coming around that often. I stopped letting my birds out for 2 weeks. After week 1 I would go out in the evening and call, call, call, and finally he slipped and showed himself. Needles to say we don’t have a problem with him anymore.

    So let me get this right. You live in the country yet you leave your ducks and chickens and small pets outside overnight?
    You even did this when you went away? .........You seem like a nice guy though so here's your answer.
    Coyote - ar15
    Wolf - Leave him be. Wolves kill coyotes. Donkey for when you leave home.
    Fox - Large dog and/or donkey.
    Note: Living in the country means you live with wildlife. You cannot kill all the predators but you can keep them at bay using the detterents I listed.

The yote population has exploded in my area & we also have bobcat, fox, coon ete. Not enough wild rabbits to go around & when predators get hungry they'll come right in on you. If you don't lock your animals up at night you'll wake up to a masaqure. Sissy looks like a sweetheart. I'm sorry for your loss. Mine were family too me as well & I still miss them.

    Sorry to hear about your pets. Coyotes are tough preditors on small animals. You can hunt them during the day. You don't have to hunt them just at night.
    You need to get a coyote call, put the wind in your face, be as scent free as possible and wait. Once you start calling, it won't take long for one or more to show up if there is one within listening distance. If you can get a carcuss from Jordan to use as bait, that will help. Find you a spot away from the house so that you're not baiting them up to the house or your farm animals. I hope this helps. We have coyotes bad in ohio and they even run in the city! Chooootem all! I wish you much success!

    Get a livestock guardian dog like a white Pyrenees’s because just getting rid of the problem coyote will on be a temp thing with having ducks and chickens. There will eventually be another one or other predator that figures out there’s a food source there

      Watch Arms Family Homestead. They have a few very large Guardian Dogs that protect their Goats, Alpaca, Cows, Chickens, Ducks... I watched one of his older videos where a couple of dogs chased off a Coyote at 4am. He also has trail cam video that shows how the dog, Bear, often patrols the property all night. He had some shots of predators eating a Wild Turkey, I think it was, and then Bear walked through the shot chasing off the predators.

    May also be raccoons. My uncle raises pheasants and all of our issues are either snakes or raccoons. We use the larger trap from tractor supply that has the extra cage in it. We did have to do some repairs after one of the raccoons tore it up.

    I'm not sure if you've seen the predator yet, but I'll tell you what we did one summer about 6 years ago.
    We had a bunch of chickens and ducks. I think we started with 18 hens, 2 roosters and 8 ducks. Half way through the summer their numbers started dwindling. At first we found exactly what you did, feathers everywhere and blood. Soon whatever was getting into the coop got a lot more comfortable and started eating our birds in the yard and we'd come out the next morning to find what was left.
    So I called up a buddy and asked him to bring his distress call over cause we were going to get whatever it was. He brought it over and another friend came out and for 2 maybe 3 weeks we sat up on the roof almost all night waiting for anything and everything that was capable of getting at those birds. If it walked on 4 legs and wasn't suppose to be there it died. We had bows and .22s and killed upward of 15 raccoons, 10 or so opposums, 6 coyotes, 2 foxs and a skunk. By the end of that summer nothing made a mess of the trash cans and nothing ate our birds.
    Unfortunately 3 weeks or so after we stopped climbing up on the roof at night something got in a took almost all of what was left of chickens and ducks.
    That summer I learned that you can thin out all the varmints but there is no substitute for better protection. Just the story of the wolf and 3 piggies. Especially when you live in the country.

    @wolframweld800 Před 4 lety

    I saw owls mentioned below, and I think that's a good possibility. Great horned owls can take relatively large prey and usually pull the heads off birds they catch. You could look for your birds' heads below locations where owls might perch and consume their prey, and you can usually find owl pellets at spots they use frequently. For the trail cameras, instead of putting them directly on high bird use areas, try to put them in likely travel corridors to get a better inventory of the predators on your property. Then you don't have to turn them on and off and sort through as many photos. Give the cameras time to soak and be patient.

    I feel your pain buddy. I have been a farmer for over a decade and many predictors we have had challenges with and just had my daughters cat disappear four nights ago with heavy coyote activity. Once you have a predator no matter coyote, fisher, pine martin or weasel that finds your animals no matter pet or livestock it is a game changer because they will not stop until they are as long as there are more to be had. Lock yours up and hunt the ones that hunt yours like their life depends on it. Electric fence wire about 3" above the ground with no grass contact and just a couple from the hard wire cloth (that you can use as the ground) will help buy you time. I also use live traps for skunks, weasels, fishers and pine martins.

  • @XskinnyrickX
    @XskinnyrickX Před 4 lety

    The best solutions you have. Set 2 foothold traps in big dirtholes 10-20 ft from the kill spot. If you can shoot at night from your house. Set out a baitpile with a roadkill deer out as far as you can shoot. Go online and get a driveway alarm that is rated for atleast 1/2 mile and put the sensor on the carcass. When an animal eats the carcass the alarm will go off and wake you up. If you could keep the rifle in a sled used to sight it in it will be easier to make a good shot. Just open the window and have the wife light it up just before the shot. You need to shoot fast once the light hits the coyote so be ready to fire before the light goes on. The driveway alarm needs to be rated for a lot farther than you plan to use it. 1/2 mile rating might only go 300yds. Lots of critters show up so dont recomend just red light and shooting at the eyes. I cant shoot past 200 at night unless its from the sled. But since you set the bait you put it in your comfort zone. Set targets next to it and zero your rifle at that range. You could take lots of predators off the property like that. Also find some houndsman in your area that runs coyotes. Invite them to hunt your area and teach the rest of the coyotes in your area to be afraid of dogs. Its fun running them in the winter and here in ny we get most coyote chases to go 25-40 miles and its fun watching the dogs work that hard to catch a coyote.

    Bobbie I live on a farm & used to have a bunch of chickens until the coyotes came & took over half of my chickens of a flock of at least 80 chickens!! Before loosing my chickens I also had some ducks & some rabbits!! The coyotes destroyed all my rabbits first then the ducks!! I put two & two together & figured out that rabbits are there favorite meals!! I also set out a half a dozen trail cameras!! I ended up taking a black pvc culvert that I had gotten from the center of the field tile!! I then went out & shot one wild rabbit because I New that rabbits was there favorite meal!! Make sure you cut it up into small pieces so they can’t take a hole rabbit the first time!! Spread the pieces of cut rabbit into the center of the culvert as I call it!! Then put a snare on each end!! The first time I did that I was not confident at all that it was going to work at all!! The next morning my wife got up really early for work & woke me up saying hay I think you might have got something but I don’t no what it is!! I went outside to check it out & sure enough it was a Fox!!! The next 6 days in a row I had snared 5 Fox & 2 coyotes!! It really worked out awesome for me!! I also had dogs but I would put them inside at night while the snares were set & ready to go!! It is very sad to loose an animal that you have had for a long time & grown close to!! Bobbie I no exactly how you are feeling right now buddy!! I hope this will help you out & you definitely try it out for sure!! Make sure that the culvert is around 2’ in diameter so they can see threw the culvert!! Coyotes & Fox both do not like to go into something that they can’t see what is on the other side!!! Plus if you do accidentally catch a dog in the snare it won’t kill them as long as you use the snares that have a stop on them!! Sorry so long Bobbie but I no you will definitely catch what ever is taking your animals with in at least two days or at least one of the predators!!! Let me no how it works for you Bobbie & I hope you get this also & try it out!!! Very simple to do also!!! & it’s not all stinky to set up either!! Good luck Bobbie!!!!!

    I’ve had some of my chickens and a cat killed out on my farm, I assumed the same thing a coyote. So I set up and started wiping out coyotes on the homestead. However I still had chickens getting killed till I found out the real culprit. I had the same issue couldn’t find nothing, no tracks or anything. The real culprit I found was a large owl. It would literally fly up into the chicken coop. So obviously wouldn’t leave tracks. It did attack a second cat and it fortunately got away but had talon marks on its back that we had to stitch up. We finally had to set up a trap on a pole to get it. Just a suggestion.

Now we have two of them, and will get a 3rd. Coyotes are daring, smart as all get out, they will know when you leave for work, they also don't only hunt at night. They will come in the daytime as well. Watch your other dog. They will come for it. Maybe fence around your house. Buy a premier 1 electric net fencing and a solar charger for around your coop. I hope this helps. I absolutely despise coyotes. I doubt this is a fox, otherwise your whole flock would be wiped out by now.
