[QUOTE="edessex, post: 3321724, member: 2972"] I've got a small number of Geese, with the sole purpose to deter trespassers from entering my yard. They are males, and in no way productive. There are foxes about, when I did keep poultry on a larger scale I had several attacks. Locking the Geese up will basically make them cornered, and therefore Fox fodder. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Should I lock them up, making them more likely to be killed by a fox, and making keeping them pointless? Do I leave them out? If they die suspiciously I'd obviously contact Defra. Waterfowl don't really show signs of bird flu, but I'm keeping a closer eye on them. I'm in Essex, so not in the areas where bird flu has been found. My yard is small, and fenced off. The only birds that tend to visit are a couple of Robins, and maybe a few pigeons. I can shoot the pigeons if that is seen as being beneficial... [/QUOTE]
