    Foxes and Electric Fencing? Help PLEASE!

    What is the power of your fence box? I have seen foxes ignore a 1 or 2 joule powered fence. Thats why I step all mine up to 6 or 8.

    Chickens are carnivores!?

    Chickens eat anything just about. All bugs and insects and worms are on the menu. Field mice are done for. I have watched ours chase, catch and then fight over a mouse for hours. But it is not on a scale that will affect your compost pile. Poop is poop. And chickens break theirs down quite well.

    Comment by 'vahomesteaders' in article 'Chickens and your children. How to get them involved!'

    Thank you! It was the same for me. Mom and dad got me started youg taking care of the animals. My love for them carried into my adult life. Now I am making sure my kids get involved as well in hopes they will do the same. I think its very important to our future.
