I going to have a run on My coop. the coop will be about 100' for the house. I plan to shut my chickens up at night, Still one of my brothers wants to run electric to the run for awhile to keep away coons and other predators . We have No children in the Neighborhood And he said it can be on a timer also I can turn it off and on when I want. He is a Electric Contractor . He says it won't kill them just keep them away. We also have a leash law here in Ky but dogs are running everywhere. I called Animal control before and it is a waste of time . the owners put them up for a day or two or say they don't belong to them. I don't want my chickens killed . Any advice?
