Bucket traps work wonders and there are lots of you tube videos on how to make them. Before you put your girls...

    Bear Attack

    I have black bears where I live. One night I had a momma bear and her babies break into my original coop years ago. The next night they tried again and couldn't get in. Never had another problem with them. They want easy meals and if it takes to much effort they give up.

Also the dog has to be on your property when you shoot and kill it. Would check to...

    Abandoning coop!

    For future use of your original coop if you so choose dig a trench around the outside of the coop and nail hardwire mesh to the bottom. Place rock on top of mesh then cover with dirt. I had rats getting in and taking my babies at night. Now no more problems.

Be the awesome woman you know you are and show him that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and he has lost out on...
