How does it work on roosters

I think it would be considered malicious use of a dangerous weapon on a fairly defenseless animal and you would be arrested for animal abuse. If you feel you need a stun gun to protect you from roosters then your medication dosage may need to be adjusted. As for the equipment, I turned it over to a Fed friend who took one look at it and laughed. For you who are looking for self defense against HUMANS, don't waste your money.

the sound would scare it away...but if u just want to zap something maybe ants

I have no idea how it would work on a rooster, but I can tell you that personally on me it dropped me to the ground. So on a rooster you might have fried chicken.

It worked on my chicken and deer problem. I would expect it to work on skunks. If you have a specific area to defend it should be effective.

I have cooked several and it works just like any other broiler. Season the steak as you like, put it on a rack and cook away.

It works great on squirrels. It should work for raccoons. I tested it by touching it and received a surprisingly strong jolt. Because the shock is intermittent, it doesn't harm birds or small animals. In fact, I used it to keep birds from building a nest on an antenna. One shock and they flew away, never to return. The unit is water resistant, but I did put a plastic bag over it just to be safe. You will need some bare aluminum wire, insulated stand-offs, wooden posts, and a means of grounding a unit. I clamped the ground to a convenient cold water pipe. If no grounding is available, you will have to drive a copper post into the ground.4 D cell batteries lasted all summer.

Hi Grace......at first our birds would come and peck at it and fly away. I thought this is not going to work, but then low and behold they started coming back and figured out how to feed from it. Now we have them all back plus the morning doves, raccoons and squirrels. The spring is too tight to close the doors when the doves and squirrels get on it so we close it at night with a small bungie cord. Hope this helps :)

No. I also have chickens and ended up building them a coop. Unless you have a cover on the top (not the tarp A frame that is optional ((I have that as well)) you will see that predators can access them. Even if that was covered, the links are too wide and they can burrow underneath. While this is perfect for the small amount of time that my dogs are there, I would not recommend using this frame and chicken wire. Other than that, my only complaint was the unwinding of the chain link, which can catch on itself and make the task very annoying. Overall people come to my house and are very impressed with the product for the price. Good Luck No. I also have chickens and ended up building them a coop.

We don't have woodpeckers in our area, so I cannot answer properly your question.But, I prove it that does not works for pigeons as they said. Sorry not being helpful.

That's the one I purchased, and have used it on both very large turkeys and small chickens. It has worked well on both.

these do not scare birds but they have worked on birds hitting my window. But I do have to replace them every few years. I cut up yarn and put in suet cake holders and the birds love it. I go through a ton of yard.

I bought it for my mom to scare away ducks that hang out on her roof and it works on them. I would say you have a good shot that it will work on geese also.

I've used it and I am not sure how much my chickens really used it. It got very cold here shortly after I installed it and now the bucket is frozen. They won't really get back at it until it warms up...so I'm not sure. However, I have friends that use it and they have had 100% success with it so I'm looking forward to trying it again. Good luck!

It is a thick gel which works by preventing th he bird from gaining a comfortable perch.It makes it difficult for the bird to move its feet.That understood, if you still think you want to apply ot to a vertical perch of larger expanse it would achieve a similar effect.

I consider it a waste of money. I have a green cheek conure. I have had it for over a month and she refuses to use it. I have tried using it on the inside and outside of cage. Ha! when I put it on the outside she got her head under the top and shoved it out on the floor.I had to clean seed up off the carpet. I put it back on the inside and she is sitting there right now fussing at me for food in her old feeder. I am ready to throw it out the door. Maybe I can figue a way to use it go a flower pot.Sorry I couldn't help.

The strength of the motor is not relevant to protecting your chickens at the door opening. When the motor is triggered to go, it will slowly lower the door with gravity doing the work. The motor does make noise as it goes which hopefully alerts the chickens to move. If the chicken does not move, the weight of the door itself is what you need to be looking at to determine if it will harm the chicken. The door takes about 8 seconds to close.

I have a dog and my dog does not have a clue the unit is on and working next to her. So no impact for dogs. For your situation, all I would suggest you test the unit with one chicken around you and see if she reacts. If it doesn't bother her, she would behave normally and then you could install it. The unit will work in the coop or nearby just fine. Good luck.

I purchased it for pecking of my laying flock. Mixed with Aloe gell and Cayenne pepper it makes a good sticking mixture and drastically reduces pecking. Learned this from ingredients on anti-picking mixture purchased from a Canadian vet. If you can introduce a bright red to the mixture, it encourages a peck since it looks like blood. They never peck again after that tasty treat. I have not been able to make the red in the mixture so have to use a bit more for desired results.
