[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 6483183, member: 70166"] Peeing around your chicken house will keep badgers and foxes away. Only if your a man though its like marking your territority. I do it and it seems to work i havent had any foxes near since i started doing it anyway. You would need a hell of a lot of pee to keep them away from your cattle though :unsure: Weve started getting more and more badgers here after never having more than the odd one and ive stopped seeing hedgehogs about a year after. And now i dont have any hedgehogs ive had slugs in my turnips and oats after never having trouble before :shifty: But we have just passed our annual whole herd tb test so the badgers will be staying and ill just have to (reluctantly) chuck some slug pellets about next year and worse ill have to just watch the bumble bees and ground nesting birds getting eaten. Ive already noticed a lot less pheasants:(. Not that i could legally do anything about it anyway but at least they are healthy badgers. For now :nailbiting::sneaky: [/QUOTE]
