Chickens!!!
For those not in the 'know'. We now have 8 rescue chickens surrounded by electric fencing.
It's kinda cool.
Issues that have arisen:
1) Electric fences and dogs do not mix. Dog is now terrified of that area, which is good.
2) Talk to your neighbours BEFORE you site the chickens along one side of the garden. We may have to move them a bit further up into the garden or even the woods. Depends if he perceives them as being noisy. No cocks so should be ok.
3) Think we should have locked them in the coop for a day. They are not using it at the moment.
4) No eggs yet!!!!
