Foxes

[new2chickes]

I sure, if an animal was capable of critical thought, they may come to realize, they could just jump over and get what they want. But they don't. Animals, always check out things with their noses. Especially something strange between them and a potential meal. They do that with this fence, they get 7000Vs through their face. Once they do that, they don't want anymore. They don't even want to come close to the fence. This fence, flat out works.

Thank you thats what I thought my mother seems to think she is the fox expert of the world HAHAHA

So I've had a fox wipe out 14 of my chickens, I was free ranging but that had to stop, anyways I want to get my chickens back out ASAP, I'm wondering if anyone has had success with electric poultry fencing?

Last night I went out to close the coop and a 6 mo old Orpington was missing. Couldn't find her. Still not around this morning! Showed up around noon missing tail feathers with a chunk out of her poor bloody tail! I cut a tube sock down each side to within 3 inches of the toe. Put the toe over her bloody tail and tied the tabs under her wings and behind her neck after I cleaned her up and medicated the wound. Was still on there tonight and the others leave her alone!! How else could you possibly bandage a chickens tail?
