Chooks are pretty well insulated and the standard electric tape
doesn't work so well. You can get an electric mesh that does
work quite well for chooks.
I don't think it'd keep the foxes out though... they'd just jump
over it, wouldn't they? It's really only this time of year that
you'll get chooks taken during the day by a fox... while there
are young foxes about that haven't learnt to be wily yet.
And at night you always have to have your chooks in a fox-proof
house.
