Nearly Halfway Done Wth Chicken Range & Tick Barrier
I am still working on the chicken fence which will allow the chickens to free range in safety. Chickens eat bugs, including ticks. This will give me a safe area to work in. My visitors can then visit without fear of lymes disease.
I am almost halfway done with the chicken fence now. It is a huge job because I have to clear out trees, brush, shrubs and debris.
There are a lot of fallen trees and branches out here on the forest floor that have to be cleared out before I can run my fence through.
I am clearing as I go. This makes it so much easier to work because I can clearly see the line of the fence and see where I want it to go through the woods.
I tack on a few feet. Clear out a path. Tack on some more fence. Clear a path. And son on.
I have about 450 feet of fence up now. I figure this is about halfway done. I am estimating between 1,000 and 1,200 feet of fence around the entire meadow and extending into the woods a bit on each side.
This will give my chicken about 2.5 acres of land to free range on.
After the chicken wire is up I will run electric fence lines outside the chicken wire. This will stop predators from getting in.
Follow my daily progress on the path to self sufficiency on my off grid solar homestead.
