An interesting article about an organic chicken farm

I found [url=http://www.audubon.org/magazine/fall-2016/an-organic-chicken-farm-georgia-has-become-endless]this[/url] article while searching for something completely unrelated and found it interesting enough to share with you uncultured, flamebaiting sheep. For sake of discussion (not like this will get any replies) what do you think would be a good solution to the problem? What would you do if you had a farm and a protected predator was killing off your livestock? Furthermore, do you think that in some cases, farmers should be allowed to cull animals protected by law - excluding of course, ones that are extremely endangered - if said animals are a detriment? Discus or don't. Whatever.

  • I think the only real solution would be to have fully netted, screened wired areas that keep the chickens within safely and the eagles out. It may not be entirely free range, but it would eliminate the eagles poaching and all the ramifications that. They say that they move the chickens huts every so often. Why not make it so that the enclosure and the huts can all be dragged to a new location (at a slow speed) without ever having to take the chickens out or in. Make it sort of like the circular farm irrigation rigs that turn in a large circle. A full screen/wire/nylon enclosure wouldn't be any heavier than that.
