We have 3 amazing great pyrenees, ranging in age from 13 months to 5 1/2, who are all family pets yet fierce guardians. We have a heavy predator load where we live, from black bear, coyotes, bobcats and all the smaller trouble makers yet we've had zero loss to predation since we added the first one. Many people will tell you that a livestock guardian dog isn't capable of being trusted with poultry until the age of 2. Nope! Choose wisely. You'll want to be sure of the breeding, definitely nothing mixed with a non LGD breed and even better if you can score one from another poultry farm! Then invest the time and effort into bonding and training. You'll wonder how you ever managed without them!
The bolt is a 1/4" eye bolt. The thing on the ends of the tie cord to hold everything in place are called caps. If you don't have a supplier near you, you can order from Belle Farms.

Thank you brother
do you have a picture of how you do your roost poles
Very nice
how do you protect roosters in winter
How do you make the pvc swivel? Thanks
It’s a short piece cut to 1 1/2” long with a 1/4” bit drilled through both sides. I just made one this morning so I thought I’d share.
I would like to know where to purchase the supplies to build the teather.
Belle Farm in NC ships if you don't have a local supplier.
How far apart do you put the barrels with this length of chord?
They need to be a minimum of 5' apart because, with enough determination, a rooster can stretch the cord. Personally, my barrels are 21' apart.
What is that bolt called? And what are the things on the ends of your tie cord that holds everything in place?
The bolt is a 1/4" eye bolt. The thing on the ends of the tie cord to hold everything in place are called caps. If you don't have a supplier near you, you can order from Belle Farms.
@@bottomlinefarm2458 so when you put on the caps all you do is squeeze them with pliers??
@@jerrymaestas4942 there's a special crimping tool for doing this.
@@bottomlinefarm2458 okay. I thought you said you used pliers. Thank you!
WHATS THE BOLT CALLED FOR THE TIE CORD?
It's a 1/4" eye bolt, available at any hardware store.
