This was mine a few years back. I clipped their wings and that helped a little, but you're probably gunna have to lock them in their coop for like 3 or 4 days

Most of them sleep on top of the coop. Theres so many of them now, i couldnt lock them in there even if i wanted. Lol
I really dont mind the tree roosting. As long as they arent sleeping and crapping on top of the fencing i dont care.
No predator issues? Lucky girls
Some predators. Nothing like way out in the country though. Ive got two dogs in a yard and the flock is in a run within the yard.
Bobcat gets after the neighbors ducks but not mine or the chickens.
Coyotes wont come out back either.. though one did *almost* snatch my cat in front of my neighbors driveway camera across the street.
