My chickens are having a hard time. They apparently taste good to the predators. I have lost two of them in the past few days.
I'm not sure what kind of critter is getting my birds, but I need to find a solution. I have an electric mesh fence, which is not always on. Sigh. Clearly I need to make sure the fence stays on more. Sometimes the solar battery gets low and it needs to recharge. I could also close the henhouse door at night, and then open every morning. But that's a lot of effort.
We can try to trap the culprit, too.
Oh, and maybe we need a farm dog.
I want my hens to be able to trust me to take care of them. That's a lot of responsibility.
