How to prevent weasels from eating free-range chickens? These methods are very practical

You've probably all seen quite a lot of this little troublemaker, the weasel, especially those who raise chickens in rural areas know it all too well and can be said to hate weasels to the bone. Since the vast majority of us keep free-range chickens, the chickens get bitten by weasels before you know it, which brings huge losses and worries to us farmers. So below, Shuaishuai will tell everyone how to prevent weasels from eating chickens!

1. Raise geese

Some people may be baffled when they see the words "raise geese" - what does this have to do with raising geese? That's right, if we raise a few geese among the chickens, it is very helpful for preventing weasels, because as soon as a goose sees a weasel it will immediately honk loudly, and not only honk, it will also call the others to join in and chase the weasel away together, so raising a few geese among the chickens is very effective.

2. Raise a native dog

Some people say that native dogs are the natural enemies of weasels. Although a weasel can climb walls and a dog may not be able to catch up with it, having one is still better than not having one, because a weasel will definitely be afraid when it sees a dog. So you can raise a native dog, but if you do, it must be tied up, otherwise if the weasel doesn't get eaten and instead the dog eats the chickens, that would be a bit of a loss, but generally speaking dogs do not eat chickens.

3. Weasel traps

There are generally tools for catching weasels on the market, for example, buy some rat traps and place them at the entrance and exit of the chicken coop. As long as a weasel comes to steal chickens it will definitely step on the trap and be unable to move, and the trap is not powerful enough to kill, but it is enough to scare the weasel away. Besides traps, rat glue boards and other hidden traps can also be tried, and after doing this a few times the weasel will not dare come again.

4. Fresh pig blood

Mix some fresh pig blood with poison and hang it near the village. When weasels eat chickens, it is actually sometimes rats that lure them over, so you can first deal with the rats and then there may be fewer weasels. There are many ways to kill rats, so I won't say more about them here.

The above are the methods for how to prevent weasels from eating free-range chickens. Did everyone learn anything? These are all the ways to deal with weasels, and basically they all use rat traps for prevention. After being caught a few times, the weasel will not dare come again.
