Try gardening&#x2F;farming.  Starting with eggs.  Snakes, weasels, raccoons, even the hens want them.  Hawks want my chicks, as do snakes, raccoons, weasels, foxes, bobcats, and coyotes.  Weasels, coyotes, foxes want the pullets and adult hens.  Its like anything I want to raise is a buffet for nature.  On the other hand, I have an electric fence.
