Beefed Up Chicken Security - 07/02/19 02:40 PM
The wife and I got tired of fattening up our birds just to provide a meal to local foxes. We reinforced the pen last weekend; hardware cloth a foot up and a foot out and netting over everything. we think the fox was going over the four-foot fence, couldn't find anyplace he was going under.
The netting should stop that. That stuff is strong, it caught me a dozen times while hanging it! If a fox tries going over the fence now it's going to be a tangled mess.
In addition to the enhanced security measures, my wife has taken to laying in wait, regularly taking up a sniper position in my shed (she's pretty mad about losing those birds).
