Ah, yes, our infamous Goat Head Thorns. They are the bane of existence here. Am a Naturopathic Doctor, specializing in Herbalism -- and despite years of research, I have yet to find a single use for those buggers, unless you can call flattening bike tires useful
We would love to try electrifying our fence, but we run on solar and wind energy. So, the extra juice needed would mean interesting challenges in the house.
My hubby and I operate LeeFran Homestead in a tiny, 84-people village in central New Mexico. We've had chickens for several years (most are rescues), and they are actively protected with two pot-belly pigs. They absolutely love each other.
We did have 94 hens and 7 roosters until last month...
