Time for a snare or conibear!  Oops, did I say that or think it?  Tie one of those birds to a fence at the edge of your property late in the evening, sit and wait.  Blap, blap, 2 caps in da hat!

Live traps don't work too good on Coyotes. I have never heard of one going into a live trap. If it was bobby it would be cake!! Good luck with the problem!!

Doggies may not go in a live trap... But if you rig the hen house to have a trap door, he'll go in. You'll lose some chickens in the process, but you'll also be able to kill the little *censored*. Rig up an alarm on the hen house door so you know when to go out with the lights and shotgun.

Did that a couple times when I was younger with chickens. Shot a Yote once then a Great Horned Owl.  Wing span on the owl was more than six feet. Had to give the owl to the WDFW for their collection...

This is not a recommendation nor would I do it. Back in the old days they would use treble hooks with pieces of meat on them tied up about 3 or 4 feet above the ground. Like I said I wouldn't do it myself but I guess back then their chickens were worth a lot more a old chicken thief, and nowdays we are more attune to ethical or humane treatment of animals.

These days they want us to sit down with the coyotes and try to reason with them and come to a compromise.  I also wouldn't tie some meat to a live 220 wire either.
