Hi all! I have 8 ducklings who are QUICKLY outgrowing their indoor living space. I will be building them a secure house that they will be locked inside at night for safety.
I am thinking, however, that instead of building a run, I would like to use electric netting so I can move them around the property easily while still protecting them from the local raccoons, coyotes, foxes, neighbor’s dogs, etc. (I even saw a cougar once!) Have you had luck with this option?
I am also concerned about hawks and owls. Have any of you rigged netting above you electric fencing? I have also heard you can hang shiny objects around to spook hawks, but an physical barrier is probably better. Thanks!
