2019 Spring Ducklings are here!

Okay so it only works if they touch one of the white wires and the bottom wire?

If you touched the fence at home youd be thrown to ground like a taser

Why would the state take your house?

They are running a toll road through my property. It will take my old house and the duck barn and their yard. And I will have to pay toll to leave or get to my house among other tortures planned. I could go on for hours but basically, I don't want to build anything permanent that the state will just destroy and not pay me for. I thought maybe the electric netting would let me have ducks.

all you have to touch is a white wire but it is not that painful.

Wonder if you can get a more powerfull charger for your fence?

I know thats easy to say because iam not paying for it

I don't think the netting would conduct it. In addition to getting a new goose, I have to noodle on next steps. For tonight I am just going to be angry.

Put that with 6 strands about three feet outside the poultry fence. Add peanut butter. Plug in

A neighbor told me about the neon transformers, he said a (wild) dog peed at his fence and was knocked out for 10 minutes. Then ran away never to be seen again.

And you will live with all the traffic at your house? Come over to WV, here they're done with new roads.

@Magnolia Ducks by any chance do the property owners that you share your back fence with face a different road. If they do, you might want to see if you can make arrangements with them for your vehicles to cross their property to get to and from that road to avoid paying tolls going and coming each trip to town. That would get old very quick...

That would be nice but my property backs onto live water. I would have to kayak in and out. We just have to wait and see what happens. There is also garbage pick up, mail delivery and other tortures to be figured out. The little necessities of life are difficult to get it you live on a toll road. The entire road is only about 5 miles long and I am the only one along the route that is being displaced. So they really haven't spent time to deal with me other then to schedule me for an exit of sorts for access. I am sure this will be an interesting experience.

But I am such a klutz, I would shock myself with it. It's worth considering. I will sit out with the AR when I get home but have never been successful in the past. Closest I came to getting a predator was almost catching a bobcat with bare hands. Did I mention lack of jugement?
