MadMitch Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I was just out in the garden giving the chooks some corn when I noticed that my electric fence was shorting out. I flicked the switch off and grabbed hold of the fence to move it away from where it was shorting and the shock it gave me. I could feel it right inside me and it went right into the bones in my hands, they even looked as though they were glowing. What a numpty, I hadn't turned it off I had actually flicked it from the low chicken pulse to the high Cow pulse. OW They still hurt now.

..lay a little egg for me Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Don't you just hate it when that happens?!! OH has the nerve to test the fence using his bare hands ...I am too cowardly and use the fence-tester! You can certainly see why the fence keeps animals away! What was shorting it out? I found a dead frog once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Getting a shock from the chicken setting is bad enough. I've done it a few times - you'd think I'd learn. Good job the foxes around here are more intelligent than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMitch Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 All back to normal today thanks. Just glad I grabbed it with my hands and didn't lean over it like I normally do, that would of been a shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 We've still got loads of garden shed burglaries going on round by us. maybe I shouls get one of those fences and "accidentally" leave it on "cow" setting where they keep running between the gardens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
