Electric fence just paid for itself

I recently built my first run/coop. I'm fairly confident it's predator-proof on it's own, but I put 3 strands of hotwire around it as added insurance. The other night I woke to some godawful screaming. Turns out it was a fox getting shocked and then running off. Needless to say, I highly recommend electric fencing!

Would you mind uploading pics? I’m trying to work on a design that will be a good fit for my property. I’m considering using regular wood posts and chicken wire buried 8-10” deep and then running hot wires at a few heights on the outside of the wood posts both low and high. Glad you kept the jerk away!

Good job! Mr Fox won't be back.
