Yeah, I think I will put up electric fencing. Maybe just turn it on at dusk. Don't want to scare the deer away.

??? first fencing I put up was to keep deer out of my garden.

Chickens came later. They don't pay in small lots other than you know they are organic and fresh. Costs more for feed and care than the eggs and meat cost at the grocery store.

Big chicken operations work on volume. They only profit a dollar per chicken per year. But they have a million chickens.

I like the deer. I'm cool with them on my property. I don't have to worry about them eating my garden plants, as I have to protect each plant with it's own wire mesh anyway, due to the chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits. Those are the biggest threat to my garden.

And yeah, I know it isn't cost-effective to raise chickens. It was more of a hobby - I like chickens - and prep for a time where we may have food shortages
