Security is provided by:

• being locked in the coop at night
• ​night lights on the main shop provide further incentive for predators to hunt elsewhere
• CROWS give a morning predator alert each morning as well as patrol for intruders
• our small wooded area is in the crow nursery/sanctuary
• all coops have chain link fenced runs with open gates
• and the best system of all, mature roosters.

​A weak area includes the prairie allowing for hungry coyotes to use the "drive-through"  for chicken dinner. It has picked up recently due to a brave coyote.
