Raising chickens in the mountains

[Dave]

Well no, not really a beer fan but I do distill spirits. A little goes a long way actually. Just like the critters don't waste it all in one shot either when marking. Fence posts, trees, rocks, etc., its not a technique everyone will appreciate perhaps but its low tech, low cost and highly effective as I've not yet lost a chicken to a predator in all these years. As mentioned, once every couple weeks is sufficient. If its not something someone wants to do then pass.

Edit to add: I don't mark the entire property, that would be impossible. Only the regions of high concern. Again don't like it, don't do it. Was only posting for consideration.

Hope you're federally licensed for the still, or I would not be posting on the net about alcohol being in it. TTB might be watching. Might want to read up on Title 27 of US Code of Federal Regulations.
