Anyone use GPS to track your chickens?

[Toadman4554]

Hello, I'm new on here and I'm sure I posted this in the wrong place but I'm wanting to know if anyone uses GPS locator tags or anything else to track missing chickens. I searched the internet for a long time and found a lot of products but the reviews are bad, products too large, tags that beep, says gps but actually wifi, etc. I just want to be able to locate only. When a bird comes up missing I want to be able to find it. Does anyone have first hand experience and not just internet info? Thanks much.

I only have internet experience via what I've read here over the last decade. This topic has come up multiple times and I've never seen anyone who found a product to track chickens with GPS.

Thanks, I looked that up and see that Tractor Supply carries those. I'll figure out how to attach to the chicken and see how it goes.

Ours does, they're even on sale right now. An ankle strap might work but honestly any key tracker should work.

Seems like an expensive item to lose down a fox's den or up in a hawk's nest.

25 bux here. I see some cheaper alternatives. I want to know where my birds are if/when they disappear like last night.

Right, ha. Then I'll know what happened.
