    Electric fencing

I have the electric poultry netting, was told I needed an energiser, 12v battery and solar panel charger for battery so have got these to what I could afford, I’m not entirely sure how to attach the solar panel to my battery - it does come with...

    Ticks

    Yes deer ticks 🙈 happier knowing that chickens and turkeys eat ticks and that it’s a field of snacks 😂 I just envisioned going up to take them brekkie and the birds are covered head to toe in ticks which would be just awful. Thankyou royalchick
