Don't know your set up but an electric fence might be bad for business since you have a petting zoo. Lol

I caught a fox yesterday about 10am with one of our ducks in it's mouth.  We have lost 4 birds (2 ducks and 2 chickens) in the past 4 weeks,  it just looked at me as if saying hey I got one of your birds, whatya gonna do about it.  I yelled at it and it dropped the duck, but came right back and picked it up again, ran off with it under the fence,  I ran after it, it dropped the duck again, I kept yelling at it, but it stood it's ground I thought about going to the barn to get something to throw at it, but knew if I did, i would lose the duck,, Luckily 2 of our dogs came running and chased the fox off,  duck ran to the barn, limping a little but seemed ok.  I went back to cleaning stalls and when I went to dump the bucket, the fox was back coming back under the fence appx. 15 ft  from the barn door, dog ran it off again,  but later when I went to check on the animals I saw a bunch of white feathers all over and was missing another chicken.   we use our animals for part of our petting zoo., so we need to do something about this fox fast.  So was wondering if that electric fencing stuff works well and if so where can we get some.  thanks

Look into Kencove and Premiere as suppliers for electrified fencing. Turn charger off when petting zoo open.

Sorry to say, but that fox will be back as long as there is a food source.
