Jules. Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) i am selling my excess netting on ebay & have been asked a question would I consider the netting to be foxproof? What do you think- I am inclined to say no, as it can be dug underneath (or maybe even jumped over). But.... what if it were electrified- would it be fox proof then, or is nothing 100 per cent safe from Mr Fox?

Egluntyne Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I wouldn't guarantee it to be foxproof....an agile fox can jump high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 You need to be careful here & cover yourself. As far as I know nothing is 100% fox proof, but maybe an electric fence,if set up properly, is fox resistant??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks- I just wanted what I thought about it being fox proof confimed ! I have answered that I think if the fence were electrified then it would be a deterrant, but not totally safe from Mr Fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think that's the right way to reply - you can never be 100% certain. Even our set-up could have shortcomings, it just hasn't had any so far...... We kept all our hens surrounded by Omlet netting last year until the runs were built and we locked the Eglus at night - we didn't have any fox problems, but that would just be luck.

Jules. Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 My netting just sold on ebay after having loads of views- 700 plus, & at least 30 watchers. We had it on buy it now at £32- it went to bidding & sold at £32!!! At least now I have made back the money (nearly) that I spent on it Hope it goes to a happy chicken home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbieboy Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm looking to sell my 25metre Omlet netting, the big girls fly over it no bother and the smaller one just pops through the holes. We have to check the garden every time we let the dogs out, Mavis nearly met her maker when she flew over and had 2 dogs running around after her. I bought a solar powered energiser to keep the dogs away but the girls still fly over into the danger zone. I have started building an enclosure to keep them seperate.
