Yes, this is a great suggestion and we’ve replaced chickens that way before. We have an irrigation ditch that runs alongside the coop and installed a camera to watch what travels up and down that ditch at night. Large coyotes that look like German Shepherds, rabbits, and families of raccoons regularly use this thoroughfare. If it’s not one predator, it’s another. We’ve also lost 3 cats over the years and decided we were just baiting the coyotes, so stopped keeping cats.

Ok, heres the in depth plandemic players…posting here so it wont be lost to posterity. Every man jack name involved in this cannot be prosecuted…all were covered by the Prep act.
But id sure like to see them fired and never hold a govt position again…not even local dogcatcher.

Our Pyrenees Anatolian works against all predators. Not recommended for small property owners.

Contrary to what many people believe, chickens love the woods / forests. Trees are the best protection against airborne predators.
Shiny moving objects reflecting light also work, I think Joel Salatin does that.

Suits me for listening to NPR at the time. I thought that the whole issue was resolved. Holy crap, the entire Obama presidency was not legit.
I didn’t know Joel had a techie farm. Shiny objects attract them in hordes.
I said at the time, this was either very sloppy pdf modification, or they were trolling. Which was it?
If it was sloppy modification, then WTH would that mean? Everything passed during Obama admin would be unwound? I can’t even imagine how you would do that.

It’s not possible. Even the attempt at unraveling and deciding what be too big of an administrative and judicial task.
All we can do is shame Obama and Big Mike to high heaven, and take away their power and influence.

They do go anywhere they want, anytime they want. Or is it need? I am amazed that large stock guard canines can slip through the tiniest gaps in and under fences.

It’s need to protect is geographic and can include wide swathes of land. Collars that catch in our high tensile electric aid can n training.

I don’t, what I cannot get locally I buy from Aldi, Trader Joes or Lidl as they have the best prices on organic meats. I don’t have these locally so I have to take a cooler with me when I visit a city in the surrounding area. There are also some surplus grocers here that get interesting buys in at times.
I recently bought grass fed burger and duck breasts at a good price.
I buy some meat and fish that are locally produced from the local farmers market.

Hang onto those, you may find some hipster 20-somethings to sell em to as “vintage”! * 
Locally source some teenagers, or maybe younger, depending on risk tolerance for sharp things, get an assemby line of these:
(*FWIW, too old to be a hipster, I just scored a dual tape deck this week. Needs new drive belts, but pretty sure that’s all.)

Slyon, thanks for the response. Where did “we kinda [find]” that? Personally, I can relate to that particular theory (“some of us were highly sensitive as children…the herd be damned…we don’t like the herd”) – although I’d never heard of it stated before!
Is the discussion of this from another thread you can direct me to?
I have a very vivid memory from second grade where I am outside at recess and the whole class playing a “game” of royalty, actually “coronating” a couple of popular kids as prince and princess (wow, I think I just remembered their names: Mary and Philip). I scarcely knew anyone in the class, and had no real friends there at all (my dad was in the military, and we kept moving from school to school), and I scarcely knew Philip and Mary. And, just now, I remember thinking something like “the hell with this!”
Interesting theory!
Coons love woods/forests and will even hunt in the day. I have kept the hens out of the forest since then.
Hey, Chris, that was a really great explication of the logic and the bounds of science! Please consider posting it, with other material perhaps, and ideally with a backing video, as a piece of content all by itself! I think “the world” really needs to b reminded, or taught, how science – especially biological science – needs to be presented in order to actually be “good”.
I think you know what I am saying but I’ll say it differently: Almost nobody has been through a rigorous PhD level biology program. And yet, most people are deferring to “M.D.s” and other supposed “authorities”. And that is what made the whole “Covid 19” fiasco (and, indeed, most of our other problems in this world) possible: most of us are not competent to even judge who is competent, much less to make our own detailed analysis of what is presented as “science” . . . or even logic. So we have “M.D.s” trotting out their M.D. as some evidence of them being “scientists”, when, in fact, they are mostly only technicians . . . and often not even particularly competent technicians.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to write a long response on this particular question.

I thought this was an interesting interview too. I found the speculations on hypnotism particularly interesting. They only time i ever tried hypnotism was at a county fair as a teen. There was a hypnotist who would do a demonstration with volunteers from the audience. I thought it sounded like great fun and always volunteered and once he picked me.
He would usually take a group of 10-20 people from the audience. There was always someone that it didn’t work on, and there were always a couple people watching the demonstration from the audiance who ended up hypnotized anyway.
It didn’t work on me. I was very disappointed. Lol

Have you looked at Azure? They have several organic feeds, they are kind of pricy, but I really like them. I’m trying out a new one at my next drop.
Overall, I have been very impressed with the quality of everything that isn’t produce there too.
