Our friends just had a bad encounter with a Coyote in their yard in a subdivision. It jumped a 7 foot block fence that backs to a roadway and broke into their small chicken coop in their yard wiping out all 8 of their laying hens.

Indian School/Pebble Creek Pkwy area.

They seen the coyote or they assume it was a coyote?

Indian School/Pebble Creek Pkwy is the border of Pebble Creek and Palm Valley...they allow chickens in subdivisions in city limits? I didn't know Goodyear/HOA's allowed that.

They actually saw the Coyote with the last chicken in it's mouth.I mentioned the HOA when they got 'em as ours doesn't allow barnyard animals. I guess what they don't know didn't hurt 'em?

I know our HOA just has a questionnaire go out about allowing chickens and thankfully the overwhelming response was "absolutely NOT". Ticked of some who wanted 'em but oh well...

One of the biggest fears was drawing in predators to the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you "accept / respect" Mother Nature, Wild Animals are out there and have been for many decades.

Chickens, as well as any Barnyard Animal, do not belong in a residential neighborhood because they attract Mother Nature's Predators doing exactly what they are expected to do by instinct.

Bottom line . . . Barnyard Animals, regardless of any HOA's positive or negative regulations, do NOT belong in and around residential communities (read: Children and Pets) in the Desert Southwest.

MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE . . . YOU WILL LOSE.

I'm a wild animal myself and a registered member of the ecosystem.

Mess with my cats or dogs in my backyard, and that will be one dead coyote if I catch it.

There's the rub, Mike. Arizona coyotes don't believe in boundaries.
