Goat Buster

(Before It's News)

Our chicken yard has a chicken gate.

I can open the gate to let the chickens out to free range.

I can close it to keep them in the yard and at night to deter predators.

The problem with this gate, is that it is irresistible to kids.

Seems that every kid finds his way through the chicken gate This is CryBaby’s kid, April 2011

Do chickens wanna play?

And not only kids, but miniature goats.

Edy, one of my Nigerian Dwarf does in the chicken yard

If I fuss at her, she gives me her best “Who me?” look.

Maybe I shouldn’t fret over this, but for some reason I do. For some reason I don’t want goats in the chicken yard.

A steady blast from the hose works wonders at chasing them out. Problem is, I don’t always have the hose available and at the ready.

Enter, the goat buster…..

My goat buster

I found this baby on the clearance shelves at walmart: pump action, 30 ounce capacity with blasting power up to 40 feet, and for only $3! How could I go wrong?

Now all I need is for a volunteer to enter the chicken yard….

Lock & load, I’m ready.
