    Help! Coop question

    So I have the option of doing a bigger coop w/full skylight vs smaller coop with fencing(won't be much room if they were to go outside in the fence i believe) not sure which to chose?

    Can I electrify a welded wire fence?

    Hi, so last year I had a weasel that devastated my flock. I'm looking to up the protection for the survivors, and the next generation.

    Plant fences

    Hello everyone! I have a very large pen for my chickens (bigger than the 50×50 foot hawk net we got by ~20ft). Unfortunately, the fence sucks a little bit.

    Hiya! Excited to join the community. I live in an urban area and have 3 Easter eggers (no idea the breed tbh-got them from an animal shelter).

    Pasture gate

    We had a German Shepherd jump our pasture fence (chest level) and get 23 of our chickens on 12/16/23. We raised the fence up to 6+ foot but he came back this week and jumped over a spot we didn't know how to raise, our 10-12 foot swinging pasture gate. He got 2 out of the 3 of our last chickens...
