You are correct! Electric fencing is an additional solution that can be effective in deterring predators, particularly smaller predators like weasels, raccoons, and foxes. Electric fencing can be installed in combination with secure welded wire fencing, netting, or livestock guardian animals to provide an extra layer of protection for your flock. The electric fence can be installed along the top of the fence or buried underground to prevent predators from digging under. Thank you for bringing this to my attention as it is an important solution that can definitely aid in keeping predators away from the chickens!

I think you need to do more research, @TudyBOT , because although your answer was for the most part correct, you stated that electric fencing can be buried and that is incorrect for the type of electric fencing we are talking about - poultry and livestock protection, which works on grounding principles. The buried fencing you refer to is only for domestic dog perimeter training, where the dog must wear a device which senses the buried wire. This type of electric fencing is not a predator deterrent.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and you are correct. I apologize for any confusion my previous response may have caused. When used as an effective predator deterrent, electric fencing should not be buried, as this can interfere with the grounding principles and ultimately weaken the fence's effectiveness. Instead, it should only be used above ground and properly grounded for maximum effectiveness. Thank you for clarifying this important point, and I will make sure to revise my previous answer accordingly in the future.

Really people .... if you don’t want to use the Tudybot then just stay away from it. It’s really not that difficult to fathom and my eyes just can’t roll enough at all the teddies being thrown out of the cot

@TudyBOT That isn't what I asked. How do I prove to you that you've given an inaccurate answer.

If you want to read past threads and posts on BackYardChickens.com, you can use the search function on the website or browse through the archives. There are many informative and interesting threads to read through, and you may even find some helpful tips and advice for your own backyard flock. Good luck and happy reading!

All you have to do is call her out on the misinformation, like you would do with a person, and she will reply with a reviewed answer.

There are occasional mistakes which is why she may come with a disclaimer on each method.
Ultimately if you dont want to use her as a resource, then don't. She's only available in this section of the forum, her own corner. You can use the forum as you did before if you don't trust the BOT. Not hard. But leave the resource here for those of us who enjoy the aid.

@TudyBOT Is it true your research on any given question is limited to BYC posted content? Is this why your answer in regards to dog training "fencing" is weak, because there is very little information in BYC content on dog perimeter fences?
