For those of you who live where it gets really cold, do you keep chickens?
If you do, how do you keep their water from freezing?

Well, Virginia and family bought quite a lot of acreage. Perhaps they need
two or three this size.

Thanks for the pictures. I think I'll need 4 strands -- Orri was
escaping at the boarding barn by slipping under the wirealthough I think
it was after the ground freeze/thaw moved posts higher. How far apart
should the posts be?
There is some good information on the Electrobraid site.

Coming three year old? We don't start our horses that young. That means,

He looks like a youngster with a nice temperment. He's resisting the bit by
dropping behind the vertical, but he's pretty polite about it and may be

Your horses must be very brave. Or your fence isn't electric? Ours don't

My horses play with them and knock them off the tops. I find them all
over the pasture. How do you both avoid that?

Janice, I think you mentioned you were hesitant to clip Tivar because
he was suffering from the bugs a lot. I thought Doppa was, too, but I
did a full body clip on her becasue she was miserable with a heavy
coat already and its unusually warm this Fall and that really seemed
to help the "itchies"

I'll try to get you some this weekend of the one that Cary put up, using

not obtrusive to look at. He put it up himself, very quickly.

We do...BUT our horses always have access to at least a nominal amount of
