As for gates and locks, it would be extremely hard. For I have almost 15
acres of wooded cayon fenced in for my critters to play in. I do have an electric fence to keep most predators out (four legged ones). There are some smaller areas fenced in, but that is for the old or sick. I have a number of coop and sheds the chickens lay in and some just lay under a brush. This is when all of a sudden you see moma hen showing off her childern. I am about to fence in the pond at the edge of the property too. Then the ducks won't have to worry about as many predators when they use the pond. The chickens in the sack were the only ones not causing a fuss. I believe the critters should be as free as possible. They all seem to enjoy the freedom and my wife, grand kids and I enjoy sitting on the hillside watching them. The wild things are only doing what is natural, yet I see to it they never come back. At times like this afternoon I wish I could do the same to a human. SOME LAWS SUCK!!!!!
