Yeah, I have been spending time in/out most of the weekend, just to keep an eye on the not-so-smart chickens. That was a bit bold for me as well, you know how close that patio is to our house! Frankie was barking her head off from the deck, which didn't really phase the coyote. Glad the pup wasn't around, she probably would have tried to play with it (her brains have not remotely come in yet).
