We definitely have lots of Raccoons that come and go.I've found them in the pen with the chickens eating from their feeder as my chickens are all walking around the raccoon like hey buddy how are ya doin not frightened at all and we had 3 little ones 2 months ago taking eggs out of the nesting...
In the US I'll unpack it this coming week and see it's brand I could have mistaken it's name I did use Farnham products for the horses so that's where I could be getting the name from. It's definitely a 50 mile unit tho. I'll update you when I get it out. So happy I didn't sell it!
We are definitely going to put up the electric fence wires. My Husband will watch some utube videos on how to do it as he wasn't in my life when I had my Horse's. We're also making the fence higher and putting the nets over the top I just need to find the heavy netting I don't want the fox to...
I was thinking about you setting up your electric fence and then I remembered that I still have my electric fencing unit I think it's a Farnam probably so not spelling that right but anyways it's a serious unit it's a 50 mile fencing system when I had horses we had a bad coyote problem and our...
I'm definitely taking a screen shot of your post! Great ideas for us for sure yes live trapping is what we're looking at my friend has them and then the fox will be eliminated. We have coyotes, red and gray fox, opossum, raccoons, huge rat snakes and huge copperhead snakes, small Hawks and very...
We will also continue to not bother the other fox that reside around us that leave our Chickens alone. As all of the other fox have done all these past years.
Thank you so much. Yes this is a very dangerous situation we are in the country and we are spaghettied in between two older country neighborhoods with our property line butting up to an Angus cattle farm we are very worried about these new fox that have shown up in our neighborhood and our...
And Thank You that is exactly what I'm saying and I don't appreciate anyone being rude about it I understand it's apparently a touchy subject for some but I do believe that for this particular fox it's got to go we have grandchildren that run around out in the woods and yard where this fox is...
We haven't tried to kill anything we're actually very mellow folk and love all of nature's critters. The people being rude can keep those comments about us off of here. I asked for help we have not had any fox, coyotes or raccoons ever kill our Chickens Hawks here and there yes but not in...
Thank you and I agree with you over 10 years and the other red fox never bothered our flock I'll look up the coil spring traps for sure. Our neighbor came over and said that the fix had apparently been living behind his fence under an old trailer and wood pile that property owner was removing...
Our property backs up to an Angus cattle farm so my Husband's aim would have to be spot on which I fear it isn't. Our neighborhood is spaghettied between two older neighborhoods so he can't shoot to the right or left either but he's gonna have to learn to shoot faster and on target.
My Husband is not sure if we should continue forward with chickens he said we're just supplying the predator with food. But we love them my Husband isn't the building fence type so that just stresses him out. I want to have a secure enclosure for them. I don't know what we're going to end up...
