Penny S Keeping a chicken safe by good husbandry involves making a foxproof run as far as a fox is concerned. Sheep are generally kept outdoors. Putting up deer fencing to keep foxes out present 3 problems.
1)cost. Basic deer fence around 10£/m on flat ground with straight runs. Extra for deviations and inclinations.
2) Trying to guarantee the area fenced has no foxes inside.
3)Sheep farms tend to be large acreage poor quality moorland.
This is obviously a non starter on economic grounds and nothing to do with good husbandry.
The non farmers on this forum are obviously the majority.
