Has any one used an Ultra Sonic Animal Repeller to keep Foxes away?

Losing chickens. Looking for away to keep them safe and still allowing free range.

No sound effects or flashing lights will discourage predators for long; a waste of money, IMO. Spend it on a good predator proof coop and run, live traps for 'trap and shoot', and electric fencing for bigger spaces. Free ranging chickens is a balancing act, and includes lock down times when predation occurs, until that critter either gives up, or is eliminated. Mary

There are two steps necessary to keep chickens safe. One of these involves strong coops, runs, and pens. The other step in this dance is eliminating dangerous (at least to your poultry) predators.
