I’m afraid that wouldn’t be safe with kids around.CAN you get ahold of some electric poultry netting? Or electric horse wire works to. Set it up, get it hot. Bait it withe peanut butter around the wire, or bacon. When the predator goes to lick or sniff the wire, they will get a surprise.
They educate the kids as quickly as the predators. YOU also need to let the kids know not to touch the fence. It will not do any permanent damage. But it will give them a jolt they won't soon forget. I've been shocked by my fence and it does hurt but the new chargers pulse so one can't "get stuck" on them if one were to grab hold of the fence.I’m afraid that wouldn’t be safe with kids around.
Could it just be on/live at night, or while we are not home? We have neighbor kids everywhere, too. I would absolutely educate them, but don’t think it would go over well.They educate the kids as quickly as the predators. YOU also need to let the kids know not to touch the fence.

Sure. But when did the fox show up the first time? Do you have an open air coop and that is why the flock was startled by the fox?Could it just be on/live at night, or while we are not home?
