The fence was originally just the height of the chicken wire but today after work I set about increasing it so they can't jump over it any more. I wasn't sure how to go about it so I dipped into my stash of bailing twine. I'm pretty sure Jamie will pull it down and redo it on the weekend but boy and I proud of my efforts!
Now remember that chic that I wasn't sure about? Well here is and up date. Check out its tail, it seems to fan out under the wings. The chicken next to it has a very different tail. So.....is it a turkey?
Maybe?

Kristy...go electric. There are good solar chargers available that aren't very expensive. There is another choice that I'm sure you wouldn't want to pick that involves a BBQ pit...lol
peace
I was thinking of getting sheep a couple of years ago and went in search of advice about fences. The bit that made me decide not to have sheep was this: Build a fence so secure that you feel nothing larger than a kitten can get through the holes. Reinforce it one more time. Stand back from the fence with a 5 gallon bucket of water. Throw the water on the fence. If the water goes through, so will the sheep ;-)
DEFINATELY a turkey! I aint seen any chickies with a tail like that!
what naughty sheep ~ AGAIN!! lol :)
Kristy, I think you have done a great temporary job, as for a permanent fix, isn't that why we have blokes?? LOL.
we finally sold our goats for similar issues.
On "The Cook and the Chef" tonight Simon visited a turkey farmer and he had a shed full of little creatures that I thought looked just like your "chick" Kirsty. :-)
Yes we have decided it is definitely a turkey chick! Jamie has said that the fence will be re-done...oh well I think it looks OK. The sheep haven't managed to pull it down yet LOL that's saying something!
