We've lost a few cats to coyotes in the last few years, but they are hard to keep around when the want to go roaming.

I built my chicken tractor with both welded wire fencing and chicken wire and so far that seems to be working. A chicken coop is on the building horizon, probably get done over Christmas break. Foundation is poured, other fencing is in as of a couple of weeks ago. Now I just need to empty the trailer so I can take it to buy some plywood and framing lumber. Never seems to be enough hours in the days or days in the weeks.
