No trees in pen


Recommended Posts

Thanks lads iv pilled up a few teepee already and the trees we dragged in give a bit of hight. I might build a few perches as well. Is there a chance they'll use perches as a launch pad for getting over the fence if there to close to the edge.

If ur worried i'd move it, sod's law 1 will get in and u will kick urself, seen foxes get into all sorts of pens some built like fort knox, amazing the ways they find to get in. Could u not move the ibc tank inside the pen and put ur filling hose throu/over the wire.

 

The birds could use ur perches to fly over the wire, but they can fly over the wire from the ground anyway and will often drop of the roost outside the pen too if u have high trees so makes no odds really.

I would just have the rails 3ish ft high just to get the birds used to geting of the deck for roosting, possibly trying to give them some sort of overhead cover on the rails too (dunno how u would do it, possibly bit of wire/rail to lean thin brash on??) so u don't encourage tawny's and birds will feel safer if some cover overhead

Want to keep the IBC outside then use it to fill a as barrel as a header tank. That way I can move the IBC back on a forklift and refill in the yard. Just being tight with hose to be honest I'll move the IBC back a good bit further. Thanks for the advice on perching. Not decided on getting the birds clipped or not yet.

Clip your birds, It gives them time to get used to home and can`t fly out in panic if a Buzzard or some other hook bill swoops.

Get another Ibc , put one in the pen as a header, and the other on the forklift. Edited by malantone
