"Invisible Fence" for chickens

[momileigh]

The tractor thing would be great if we had any flatness or grass or anything. We're in the woods here. Anything much bigger than a wheelbarrow won't work for moving around, anything that requires level ground won't work. Maybe if I hired a professional to put up a fence they could figure out how to make it work, but I'm worried we'll spend hundreds on that and then they'll hop right over it. And it will be ugly.

Our little hoop yards weight about 20 pounds each, I can move them by myself and we put them in the woods tucked under pines were the really tasty bugs live all the time.

Someone tell me how to get my rooster off my deck.

One of our hens lays her eggs on a cushioned chair at our outdoor dining table every day, I have even locked her into the coop for half a day many times but she just holds on to that egg until she can get to her spot on the deck.

We bought the (expensive) cushions in for the season on Tuesday and replace it with a five gallon bucket 'nest box' which she rejected. She (finally) laid in the nest box for the first time this morning!

Now if I can just get her to stop running up the hill jumping onto the deck rail and flying back down to the lower yard 30 times a day.... and we have another one who is fixated on peeking into the kids bathroom window...

Sorry I can't be helpful but just know that you are not alone!

Glad to know that! Also having issues with my tom turkey chasing my SUV

Your hen just wants to make your egg collecting easier
