Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Blodri]

This is my first post but a very sad one. We got Chardonnay and Chablis at the beginning of September for my partner's 50th. Today after we'd been working in the garden most of the morning, we came in for lunch and as he was changing to go outside again he saw the girls cowering in their run (they had an Eglu plus the extra 25m flexible wire for an added area). By the time he got out Chablis was dead and the fox was running off with Chardonnay. It was broad daylight and we're right out in the country. He must have waited for us to go inside. Should we electrify the outer area of wire (the flexible stuff with poles bought from Omlet) and if so what do we need? I guess now the fox has been once he'll be back when we get more chickens?

Very sad and upsetting for you.

I think Omlet do the electrics for the wire in the shop.

Really sorry to hear it.

 

Fox attacks are more likely now, through till march/ April I'm afraid, especially at dawn and dusk.

 

To answer your question about electrifying the Omlet netting, an **energiser** is available in the Omlet shop.
