hi! my hen addiction has finally taken over my life - i have 8 girls in my small garden at home but am thinking about making up another flock of about 30 hens but will have to keep them on land which is exposed to foxes. i have never used electric fencing before - is it reliable to keep out foxes? there is no electric source at the land so is there a cheap mobile electric fencing unit that anyone can recommend? i can see the area from our upstairs windows but apart from that will only be able to visit the area twice a day as i dont want to be a nuicance to the landowner who is letting me rent this space. any suggestions for making it safe would be very welcome. thankyou, lucyloux

Have a look at this link from the poultry stickies, lots of information on electrified netting.
I use both mains and battery as have a lot of foxes round here!
