We have always had our hens completely free-range before now, and put up with them shitting on the doorstep and hassling us when it gets close to food time...
This time, because we want to grow fruit and veg in a number of different locations, we thought we would try confining them to a moveable run using electric netting. $250 later we are one goal up on the day so far - we've fenced them 3 times, and they have found a way of escaping twice (so far... deep sigh).
It's the bloody leghorns - they are the sleek, fast, fit shock troops of the flock, first in to everything. First into the pot too at this rate... mutter, mutter.
