My neighbor saw my chicken coop and said 'you know they'll attract coyotes, right?'
That comment in my driveway three days ago has me second-guessing my whole setup, so has anyone here in a suburban area actually had a big predator problem with a secure run?

Bird feeders attract raccoons and rats more than coyotes. A secure run with hardware cloth buried around the edges is a different story.

Totally get where wren217 is coming from, you gotta protect your birds. But I'm with grant.luna on this one, it feels like a slippery slope. If we start banning things just because they might attract some wildlife, where does it end? My neighbor has a compost pile that brings in way more raccoons than my feeder ever did. Seems like good setup and common sense should be enough, right?
