And holly, about the coyotes, they are pretty much still afraid of people in a rural setting.....it's the ones in urban settings that are a little more daring. They are used to people, wary and leery, but they will come into contact with them more easily. Look at the one in Chicago that wandered into a store during a hot day...just laid down and didn't bother anyone.....of course, all the city folk had a cow.....sheesh! Even so, I've never heard of anyone of them attacking a human. When I lived with a friend of mine in the sticks, we'd hear them all night...it was actually kind of nice....I love to hear the howling, unless they've killed......then it's just too awful to listen to. And apparently, the pack around the house I lived in had a sense of humor.....the house was shaped like a capital "I", and one night, the pack grouped up in the front of the house by the porch and started singing into the alcove.....my friend said they bolted right out of bed thinking that they were being invaded or something! Apparently, they loved the acoustics! Around here, in the Phoenix/Valley area, they are seen alot, and cats and small dogs have been taken out of yards. I've seen them during daylight hours too. I'm not sure if that's a foolproof guarantee that something is wrong with them, tho.
I'd keep an eye on the chickes, and make sure whatever they are cooped up in at night is secure....once they discover the buffet, you might have some serious issues then. And the racoons and possums are cool.....leave 'em be.
