This is what we’re hearing every night.

We’ve lost so many chickens, ducks and geese lately that we’re now (as well as shutting them in their shed at night) electrifying the chicken wire fence of their run every night. Don’t worry, it’s only 12v electric, we’re not out to kill the foxes – just make them think the chicken run is something they definitely don’t want to be going anywhere near!

HEN AND THE ART OF CHICKEN MAINTENANCE
Martin Gurdon
Forget motorcycles, this is a reflection on keeping chickens. Little did the author realise that a small flock of chickens could change his life (and his lawn) so much. For those that already keep chickens or those that think they might like to keep chickens – a lovely gentle book well worth a read.
So that’s what they sound like…I would never had guessed. We have foxes around here to, but they never come too near the houses…Too many dogs I guess. Anyway, hope your electrified fence works on keeping them away.
