I've basically turned my coop into Fort knox, but I figured that my ladies would be safe enough running around the backyard during the day and full light. Apparently I was wrong. One of my girls got snatched by a coyote right in front of my face after it scaled 7 ft privacy fence. Is anybody else having problems with coyotes during the day or is it just me

We've had issues with coyotes during both the day and the night. They're mostly nighttime visitors, but my wife saw a coyote snag one of our hens and dissappear into the corn field in broad daylight last year. We've not had trouble with them since we put up a fence, though, so hearing about one scaling your fence is quite a bummer.
