Jikes, not good! Maybe you could make it electrical? And don't forget the switch ^^ So gets every fox which trys to steal a chicken a shock in the night and on day you don't hurt. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

Interesting idea, but wouldn't it shock the chickens too though? Plus, I'm not sure we can afford something like that... |
|||
Peppery One Papriko |
Well, you could make a second fence in the electrical fence. It does not need to be a very expensive one, just to keep the chickens away from it. Why do you not connect it to the house-internal electric wires? Then would it be like a normal wire, just unisolated so the foxes get toasted. And it could be painful but not toasty if you add a... grr, how's that called? Such things which burn to prevent YOU from burning for example when there is a shortcut in a gadget. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

What's painful to a fox might be lethal to a chook - Laura might have a better bet with a dog that lives with the chooks, and that's not feasible either.  My TCR Norns |

Tea Queen Laura |
Yeah, like a Rottweiler. But then it might turn on the chooks also... Oh dear.  I do appreciate you trying to be helful Papriko  but I also can't see my dad wanting to fiddle with the house electrics in that way - even though he's an electrician. Plus, as much as I don't like foxes right now, I would never want to shock them. Chuck water at them maybe, but never electricity. |

Peppery One Papriko |
Hmm, yes It was just an idea.^^ Or you try a small dog like a Dachshund. It`s too small to eat chickens but aggressive enough to make foxes run away XD Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

I just saw something I'd have preferred not to see out of my window... Dad's tidying up and repairing the coop and he's laid all four dead chooks out on the lawn.  |

I have a beautifal, super intelligent, spazzy, awesome, hyper, weird, and great dog! Her name is Moxy, she is part Jack Russel, Part Miniature Fox Terrier. Two small type of breeds, both EXTREMELY hyper and cute. My mom chose part of her name, oxy, comes from the name Roxy, a hero. My dog can run around our GIANT J SHAPED COUCH within seconds, about 3 to be exact. This couch could seat about 10 people, and takes up most of our living room. Seriously if you had an arial view, it looks like a giant capital J. She's amazing. A great friend. So fun to be around! beep |

Aww, poor chickies... I used to have chickens so I know how you feel Laura. I don't have any pets currently. I used to have three cats, but we had to leave them with somebody in California when we moved to Florida. She's taking really good care of them, and if we ever can afford to visit there we may be able to bring them back with us, but for now the house is kind of lonely without them.  |
|||
Tea Queen Laura |
Aw, Ghosthande - did yours get nabbed by foxes too? I firmly believe a house is never a home without a pet. I hope you get your kitties back soon! |
|||
Prodigal Sock Ghosthande |
Well we had one or two get snatched by something, although we don't have foxes here. I'm not sure what it was. The rest we just had to give up because we were moving and couldn't keep 20 chickens in a duplex. It still makes me sorry to hear it, though. |

My mom is going get another Co.ckatiel for us!  |

Speaking of those birds, I find them cute, in fact, a friend of my dad's had parents who own those type of birds. By the way, about those birds, does anyone have to deal with the stereotypical jerk who spikes his hair so much it looks like he's a porcupine or an actual co.ckatiel? I have to, his hair is spiked in such an annoying fashion! If hairspray still had CFC's, there would be a huge, gigantic, ozone hole above the state I live in! The way his hair looks, it looks like he uses spray, moose, gel, whatever it takes! It looks like, if he tried to put a helmet on, the helmet would be punctured! The worst type is that he's that type of guy who spikes his hair, acts like the biggest jerk/youknowwhat on the planet, thinks he's the coolest thing on the planet, and acts like he's the toughest person on the planet. Sorry for getting off topic, but, does anyone else ever see someone in public who's hair looks like it's a co.ckatiel's? beep |

yes. And I wanted to kick him. wait,that was a dude with long hair. I hate when dudes have long hair. In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream. Feed my pets: Shroomy and Glow! |

I see people who attach hair like that to their motorcycle helmets. Looks like they're wearing Corinthian war helmets--but usually weird colors, like neon green or purple. I used to have two 'tiels but they died a few years ago. ): |

For some reason I want to buy sea monkeys right now. In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream. Feed my pets: Shroomy and Glow! |

The game or the pets? Because I've heard that the pets don't do much, and the game is an acurate imitation of life. "Everything you can imagine is real" ~Pablo Picasso  |

Lol, what I must always think for when you talk about Sea Monkeys... XD Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

This is my Dog. She is awsome! |

What a cutie! Reminds me of a friend's dog we babysat one time. |

Aw, the cutesy, poopsy, flopsy, wopsy, kutsay, ahjeboobuh! Who's a cute doggie, you are! Oh, sorry, I go into that mode when I talk about cute dogs, especially when I am talking TO the dog! beep |

Apparently cats are the most popular pet in the world right now. I love it when you've had a bad day and they crawl up to you and eventually fall asleep on your lap. In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream. Feed my pets: Shroomy and Glow! |

Prodigal Sock Ghosthande |
I have three cats. Granted they're living with a woman in California right now, but I still consider them mine, and hope to get them back some day. But don't even get me started talking about them, I'll never stop. Love my babies. |

Aw, I have three cats too! I think I've said that before...hmm...but cats are really amazing critters! "Everything you can imagine is real" ~Pablo Picasso |

Yea,but mine just wants to sneeze on me and everywhere else right now. In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream. Feed my pets: Shroomy and Glow! |

I wish I had a cat, but my mom doesn't want to clean a litter box, and my step dad already cleans the dog's poop. I love my dog, but my parents and I consider getting a second dog, to where she has a play mate! beep |
|||
Prodigal Sock Ghosthande |
So... your parents pick up bare poop with just their hands and a thin sheet of plastic, but picking up clumps of litter with a long-handled spatula is too groty? XD I've never been able to understand that mentality. Scooping is like the least offensive kind of poop duty there is. If I had a dog again, it would probably be something small like a chihuahua so I could train it to use a litterbox. Litterboxes are the way to go man. Even rabbits are using them. |
|||
LoverIan |
Ghosthande, I know.... They only clean the back yard every 2 or more months, when the poop gets to large, when there is only a couple of places to poop, and those spaces are dotted around the back yard, with many obstacles blocking them, say, a flower bed, bushes, and reeds...... Chihuahua using litterbox, well, I guess rats use them too! ^_^ Besides, it's a small price to pay for a cutesy wootsy kitty witty! I would get a kitty who loves being petted, and hugged, and isn't shy around strangers! Oh, and one that will crawl into your lap late at night when you're using the computer! EDIT: Oh, and my step dad, HATES kitties! Though he has said he likes them when in a burrito...... 0.o He says that cats are a lot like republicans too..... beep |

Oh, why oh why did poop have to be mentioned? My parents are going away on Thursday and one of our cats is still recovering after having his leg broken (he's too fond of crossing the road and playing chicken with the cars ). So right now he's housebound for a month until his leg completely heals, and it's gonna be me who'll have to clean out and replenish his litter tray whilst they're away. This would be fine normally, but he's never mastered the art of aiming for the tray and not the floor! He always seems to miss and do his business over the edge of the tray instead.  |
|||
Prodigal Sock Ghosthande |
Aww poor kitty Have you tried moving the tray up against a wall? It'll restrict where he can go at least a little, and plastic trash bags can help with the rest. (Some of our cats that we've had in the past have been poor aimers, too) |
|||
Tea Queen Laura |
Yeah bless him, I know it's not his fault, I don't think having a broken leg helps matters much, or makes using a tray any easier for him! I'll try the wall idea, thanks for the tip. |

Thats why I kee my cats indoors. Because nobody likes the site of and injured cat. In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream. Feed my pets: Shroomy and Glow! |

Then there is the problem of kittens, I hear they love to nom on wires! beep |
|||
Prodigal Sock Ghosthande |
My cat Ana loves to nom on everything. I always had to keep library books locked in a drawer because I knew she'd chew the corners to ribbons. She did it to several of my books, and a few other things. It wasn't because she was teething or anything, she just liked to bite things. Even when she was a kitten and we were bringing her home for the first time, she was chewing the corners of the box all the way home. Ana likes to nom vegetables too. Her favorite food is banana and she cries and begs like a dog if she sees you eating one. I kid you not. She loves banana, green beans, pummello, has even stolen orange peels out of my lap while I'm peeling an orange--yes, after trying the pummello she actually decided she liked citrus, to a degree. It's an acquired taste I guess. |
|||
LoverIan |
LOL! Nomming on everything, are you sure I'm not your cat? I don't nom on anything that isn't food or edible (slash digestible!), but I do nom a bunch! Sounds like a cute kitty, wait, does she bite you often? beep |
