I have a suggestion. Put 2x2s on the INSIDE seam of your run so the HW cloth isn't just held by staples or screws- if there is a 2x2 screwed into the existing frame on the inside, it's much much harder, especially if the screws go through the HW cloth too. i.e. where I've put the green lines...

Yes, my point was that the one day olds for the breeds lost are already in the $22-26 range- which is the cost of a run of the mill adult chicken. Never mind the food and time until they've reached laying age. (and the cost of shipping!!)

True! But in the mean time have an objective basis for the declared value of the purebred chickens that were lost to the neighbor's dog - - it matters what it costs NOW to rebuild. Nothing saying you have to go with the same breeds, just make sure you are compensated for what you lost. i.e...

At least at MPC: Day old chick: blue copper maran: 21.75 pullet blue/black/splash birchen marans: 24.55 pullet As far as the roo being show worthy - I have no idea on the $$s involved there.

I don't know if they were black copper marans but here's a link to 6 week old pullets: https://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/6-Week-Old-Chicken-Pullets/6-Week-Old-Pullet-Black-Copper-Marans-p1908.aspx Day old pullets: $9.50 unless they're the Blue Copper Marans in which case they're $21.75...

OK: Here are your local laws/regulations. I do not know if chickens will be considered as domestic animals for the purposes of these regulations. But, given that you have video of what the animal did to your fence in order to get in and kill your chickens- and that it also did the same...

Literally just unplug the electric fence when you go out there. The trick is to remember to turn it back on.

Exactly. Ground rods properly situated is a must - but adding ground WIRES to the fence helps solve the grounding the trespasser problem. The ground wire is attached to the ground rod terminal of the charger and is run like a normal strand of fencing. Especially where the soil is bad, but...

That's why yours should be plugged in, not solar or battery. Unless the power goes out, the fence will keep doing its job no matter what. Our fence (that runs 12,000 with everything plugged in) - if touched - will illicit an involuntary scream, i.e. you hear the scream, and you wonder who's...

We used https://www.amazon.com/Parmak-Energizer-Impedance-Controller-SE5/dp/B0002YUWHA/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1T4GINYDNZ6GO&keywords=fence+charger&qid=1653987901&sprefix=fence+charger%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-9 for our goats. It runs around 12,000 with everything it's hooked up to now. It's handy because it...
