Dacs, I'm sure you have a shotgun and know how to use it right

Ok, assumption made... this is what I would suggest in your situation..

only bad thing is they are close to 8 per shot.

You didn't mention if it was just chickens you are trying to protect or if you have other livestock that you are concerned about as well. I know fencing 100 acres is a bit much, heck, I haven't even fenced my entire 10 yet, but maybe that moveable electric netting would be good just to protect your flock. We are going to give it a go. My neighbor and I have an agreement that our dogs are allowed on each others property, and I like that, so since his dog has a high prey drive for small things we are going to give the netting a try so that we can still let the chickens range. Totally understand not wanting everyone's dog on your land regaurdless.

I didn't mention on purpose because protecting anything isn't the real issue. The issue is persuading dogs they aren't welcome.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
