Chickens - New Keeper Advice Please

Good plan, although I have lived in this village all my life and can honestly say I have never once seen a fox here, which I've always found very odd being in the country. They seem to prefer more suburban areas these days I think, though still wouldn't take the chance!

You can get little ones powered by D-cell batteries that will do the job...

Rutland Electric Fencing ESB15 Battery Energiser - is the one I had. Was about £35 second hand
 
We tend to shut the door to our coop in winter, but in summer leave it open so they come and go as they please. Just make sure that the cage bit is secure and can't be knocked over or dug under easily..
