Sorry to hear about your turkeys and guineas. :hugs

Don't give up on them though. Just make their pen more prediator proof. If they weren't in a pen, maybe consider one.

Not good.....I started building my coop this weekend. I'm hoping nothing comes close to the barn that I don't have to cage the lil things...good luck, I always find shooting the predators more satisfying!

My girls are in a coop and run. We have to many prediators here. We have one neighbor that let's theirs out and she has told me that anymore than two days out and they are in big trouble with the prediators so they also have a run the chickens usually stay in.

But as for where you are, as your building keep in mind that the day may come with bad prediators and allow room for a run to be put up, if your not having one now. And then hope you never need it.

Yeah I'm definately putting it somewhere that can easily be fenced in. I only have 13 so I really don't want to lose any. I'm slightly even getting attached to the lil buggers!

That seems to happen very easily.
