Welcome to BYC. The only guarantee is a covered, predator proof pen for the day pen. Electric fence could be part of that predator proofing.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

Check the Duck thread link that was posted. Fencing to keep the Dogs and other daytime predators out would be a good place to start. Check local BYC members to see what they do

Thanks for the ideas! I would have to ask the HOA and the neighbors about the electric fence, what a great idea! I don’t have room for a goose sadly which is too bad since they are such interesting creatures.

Geese are fascinating things. I have five and they protect my ducks and chickens very well. Even my big saxony duck hen prevented a hawk from carrying off one of my muscovy ducklings by chasing it. But electric fence is great idea since you don't have room for geese.
