A couple of years ago, on another farm, hubby and I did pastured poultry
just for ourselves.

We positioned the chicken tractor next to the garden and advanced around the
outside perimeter daily.

The deer assessed the long low cage - all those large white chickens moving
about or at the very least murmuring to one another and certainly giving off
a scent - and gave the cages AND the garden a very wide birth.

I think I may try that again this year. I'll put a poultry station at each
of the four sides, advance them daily, fatten up the chickens, and confuse
the deer.

True story. Honest.
