I had a coyote problem here a couple of years ago. This bunch were snatching chickens out of the yard in broad daylight, 50 feet from the house. At the same time we had a road dog bitch that had been hanging around. A mixed breed Blue Heeler she kept her distance and wasn’t causing any problems, so I thought.
Some time after wiping out this coyote problem I noticed that she was running thru the fields with a litter of pups that looked like coyotes. Ah ha, coydogs! No wonder they were so brazen in the daytime, they were half dog.
At bit more hunting a I killed all of them, the bitch too. The pups were no doubt coyote/ dog crosses, but looked more like coyotes than dogs, nothing like the bitch. This ended the chicken killing. So far no problems in the last year. The bitch must have been churning them out a couple of times a year.
