[QUOTE="7.62marksman, post: 311838, member: 8005"] as a young fella we had chooks lots well at least 12 anyway they had the run of the hole yard during the day however at night we had a very large water tank (with bricks under it to stop it rolling down the hill) on its side and closed in for them at night it worked and kept the foxes out but the rats and snakes were harder to keep out so my grandfather (i was adopted as a baby so he is really my father) had a brain storm (brought on by his mate johnnie walker) one day and tied the cattle dog up to the tank with about 12ft of chain to try and keep the rats away ok you all know where this is going the next doors cat came past dog chased cat (which they do) dog run out of lead (did i mention the block of land was called a long sloping acre) so yes the dog and chooks ended up done the bottom of the property cat sitting on the fence with a grin a mile long having chooks can be fun for kids and adults alike go for it and enjoy it as a family P.S chooks didnt lay for about 6 weeks and the grandfather was in deep *&$% for a few days (had jonnie locked away lol) until my grandmother saw the funny side of it [/QUOTE]
