It's a matter of chicken or death

For the first time on our little homestead we've had predator pressure on our chickens. Our chicken tractor apparently wasn't quite up to the challenge of keeping them out, so modifications had to be made.

Electric fence on at night off during day

Yeah, that's definitely going to happen soon.

You need to adopt a Jack Russel or very aggressive cats. What's with the bear feet?

[@arewehomesteadingyet]

We have been waiting until we have a little larger/more secure property before getting a dog (1/2 acre without a fence isn't ideal 😀), but I have been rethinking that lately.
As for the bare feet, didn't really give any thought to it. Just like to feel the ground sometimes.
