Foxes - Electric Fencing
Feb 8^th, 2010 at 8:19pm

Hi, we have now seen 3 hungry foxes lurking. Our hens used to have the run of the field and garden, but now we have them penned up in a large fruit cage with extra wire netting round - Hen Colditz. They are not happy.

Has anyone recently invested in electric fencing or know of a reputable supplier? There are plenty on the web, but would be helpful to learn if there is a 'good' one out there - specifically 50m poultry kit battery. Undecided

The guy was very helpful I told him what I wanted and he called me back with what I would need and a price. I bought my electric poultry netting from the same company.

I've asked around and we now have a contact for a 'shooter'... But will defifintely invest in the electric fencing to be on the safe side.
