Everyone's Electrified by my Fencing Pages
by Robert
Mother Earth News has featured my Electric Fencing FAQ in the Happy Homesteader section of their Web site. Check it out! No, not just my FAQ, but the whole section. It has a lot of good stuff in it.
Mother Earth News has been a great resource ever since I was a kid, with lots of hands-on practical stuff that you can cut out and paste down. It's one of the few print magazines I still subscribe to in this Internet age.
Electric fencing resources:
- My Electric Fencing FAQ
- An electric fence blog entry that extols the virtues of one-wire fences for chickens
- Another electric fence blog entry with more information about single-wire fences, plus a funny video.

Hello sir,
Our family is doing research in order to acquire chickens for this next year. We are interested in raising Java chickens, but are having a hard time locating a person or establishment which might sell us day old chicks. We do not care if we have to drive to pick them up, or if they are via mail-order. However, we only want like 3-5 chicks and not the 25 minimum order of some places. We are located in Portland, Oregon and were curious if you sold any of your heritage chicks and which breeds you owned.
Either that, or if you might know of a place where an urban farmer could acquire a small number of heritage chicks.
Thank you so much!
