Sorry. I don't get it. What does LBTQ have to do with raising chickens? Or goats? Or horses?

Nothing. This is the Random Ramblings forum, where we can join as a group with similar backgrounds and chat about anything and everything.

Same thing being homeschooled or Christian does. That's why it's in the random rambling section

Well, this is posted in the random ramblings section of the forum. So it doesn't have to have anything to do with livestock

Not the most intelligent of animals, lol! Yeah, you need to train them to the fence before releasing them into an enclosure with one. It's worse with pigs if they haven't been trained yet!

any advice with training them to it? I thought you could still put them in a enclosure with it, didn’t think training them to it was very complicated

I'm not sure apart from keeping them sheared. Otherwise they won't feel it unless it's on their nose, ears or feet

Combination of both types of fences, with the electric on the inside so when they get too close they learn that they get zapped, but without being able to bolt through.

I see a lot of people who keep none sheared sheep in electric fencing, I am getting really confused with electric fencing. The Sheep are to young to shear anyway

If they are that young, you may want to keep them in a smaller enclosure within the larger (temporary fencing and shelter) until they learn that this is now home. Just takes a few days.

Busy building the enclosure because in all my research nothing said the electric fence wouldn’t work . We have temporary area at the moment but they really can’t stay in it for very long
