    Protecting a larger flock from coyote packs

    Coyotes have been seen to leap a 10 foot fence with razor wire around here (at the airport). 5 foot probably wouldn't dissuade them. Would it need to be a fully electric fence, or the electric line attached to the fence? All we found was a rather large field of feathers, nothing else...

    Protecting a larger flock from coyote packs

    Oddly enough they left the two goats completely alone. We found piles of feathers..... most noticeably the lighter color feathers from our one light Ameraucauna, and the last of our ducks. One side of our fencing that we share already has an electric line (put in by the neighbor), due to the...

    A Management Challenge to Reduce Rooster Aggression Directed at Keeper

    I have 3 roosters with 18 hens currently. After a 3 week vacation, with husband and others caring for the flock, the head rooster has become agressive with us. He's my only rooster that has correct presentation for the breed, so I need to retain him. The lowest of the 3 roosters has someone...
