yep, that be the one!

Hey OldGuy, I'm new here and don't know how to post a link. How 'bout you post one to that excellent article?

OK, here are the promised pics. The first pic is the run from the inside. This is an L-shaped run, this is the long leg (32' x 8'). The "panels" are 8' long x 6' high, covered with chicken wire on the outside and shade cloth on the inside. The panels are screwed to each other with 3" deck...

Well, the electric fence seems to be working as advertised. The older chicks have been in the run since Friday morning. My dog must have discovered the wire early on, there have been NO further excavation attempts.

Technically, the welded wire fence is already grounded through the t-posts. The chicken wire panels are tied to the welded wire fence, so are already grounded also. I see in Blammo's pics above, he used the insulators that attach to the t-posts, I used the type that clamp to chain link fence...

This was something I was wondering about. My run is roofed over with chicken wire and shade cloth. To prevent hawks and owls from perching on the roof, I was considering running a live wire around the perimeter of the roof. (Climbing bobcats, anyone?) I'm no electrical engineer, but it is my...

That sounds just like my run! I found 6 foot wide chicken wire, so I made my panels 6' x 8'. Covered the outside with chicken wire and tied the panels to an existing welded wire fence. Roofed over with chicken wire outside, and shade cloth inside. Today, I am stringing electric predator wire...

I had a similar occurrence with a flock of Black Jersey Giants, but it was MY dog. I also had one survivor that hid under a cooler. She has become very attached to me, as her protector. Immediately go to a local feed store or whatever and get a few chicks to keep her company, she needs...
