.....is our specially purchased, rinky-dinky electric fence! I touched it accidentally....it REALLY works. We'll turn it off during the day, so they can still roam. They will still be vulnerable while foxy-loxy has cubs, but I like the idea that they are free range, having been in the battery farms since birth.
Last night all girls + 1 rooster were put to bed and fence turned on. This morning we can report zero deaths. Phew!
....still gittin' me a gun....
