Question Fowl on the road

[ross]

We are on a busy county road and are always out supervising our hens or turkeys when we let them out. Our neighbour had let his hens and turkeys free range, but predators got a lot of them; his house is further back from the road. However, when he had pigs last summer, they came to visit us twice by way of the county road, which caused a few honking horns and slowing of traffic. However, that summer was so dry that his electric fence failed to work. His turkeys also came for a visit. But being a good neighbour, he dealt with the problem in short order. I do not think he lost any livestock by road-kills.

Run a ground wire as well as hot wire then you don't have worry bout dry weather or critters like goats/calves with light foot print not getting zapped .
