RE: [CHICKENS-101] Bear

 

> I hope someone can help how do I keep a bear away from my chicken pens,or
I would guess it was a bear went out to feed this moning and the top
chicken wear was all pulled back looked like someone walked up and just
pulled it back,my other chickens were in a small warecage the cage was all
pushed in,God had to watching after my chickens they all ok and still in
their pen and the ones in the cage was ok just had a hard time getting them
out. Do you all think it was a bear no tracks as i could see

I would ask animal control if you have that in your area or talk to people
in your area if they have heard of any bear sightings.
the only thing that I have heard of that keeps bears out is electricity,
meaning electric netting or something like that. You could also try a
product called "night guard" that seems to work well for some people and is
a lot cheaper than putting up electric fencing. If it was a bear it will
most likely come back, so you've got to be prepared for that. maybe get a
motion sensor light, noise maker or spray and place around your chicken
area.
