Hi all!
Just thought of a crazy idea!
Basically, I own a reasonably sized chicken run with a small hut inside for the chickens over night.
This also contains a fence around to prevent the fox coming in, but unfortunately he got one of my chickens
that i had owned for many years, along with others in the past and then and this was the final straw!
I incubated chicks, and while they grow and I incubate some more chicks to join them (due 30th August)
I am planning on an extreme solution!
My plan is to use a moat (much like in all of the castle movies)!
By doing this, the fox will be unable to get under the fence and into the run!
I plan to start building on the 10th, the day after my new eggs go into the incubator, hoping to add to my 3 little chickies that hatched last week.
I feel the plan really could work and will keep you updated on the project!
What do you all think?
(Here is the design)
