After reading the boards here I am kind of wondering if I opened a can of worms getting chickens- or is that a can of heartache?
So many sad stories and I hate to think of losing any of my little ones!! We have pretty much all of the above listed predators and then some.
I did wonder about the electric fencing- is that *on* all the time or is there a way to turn it on at night only? Hate to think of my daughter touching it accidentally.
I think I will just have to learn from experience as I go along here. I have a 12 x 15 enclosure I think is pretty secure but after reading now I am second guessing it!
On a side note I have only lived here in Oklahoma 3.5 years and for 3.2 of them I have thought the above listed predators were a fascinating part of my surroundings. Now all of the sudden I don't think they are so amazing anymore. Now I am looking at them with the evil eye...
