My barn cat could care less about the chickens. And like Cuties cat, my daughter had a big cat that hunted bunnies, gophers, etc, and very easily could have taken down a full grown chicken, I know, but he never touched them either. I think they do know the difference between wild and pet animals.
We have fainters and we have just used the welded wire (3 foot) for them zip tied to T-posts. This year we are going to make a new pasture for them and got some free boards that DH is going to put up and then put the wire on the inside. Fainters won't jump out like Pigmys will so it doesn't...
Dr. H. We have a campsite at Birkensee Campground off of Hwy D on Hwy H in Tomahawk. It was rain, sunshine, sleet, sunshine, snow....well, you get the idea. Not much campfire time this weekend.
