Bears are a tough one, since they can get through barriers most smaller predators can’t. If they visit your area regularly, consider putting an electric fence around your chicken run and coop. That typically is enough to deter them, especially smaller black bears. Additionally, be sure to store your chicken feed securely, as the scent may be what’s initially attracting bears to your property.
