We have a large dog that stays outside and patrols our area keeping them away from our chickens, ducks, goat, cats, and horses. On occasion I have shot a few with a .22 from my front porch and that seems to have kept them from eating our animals or coming on our land anymore. But our neighbor behind us lost all his chickens to them recently so I anticipate having to do more when the weather warms up and the rabbits aren’t as prevalent. But I have heard they more you kill them the more they reproduce to populate so we have focused on dogs and small arms to keep them from wanting to eat our other animals.
