When it comes to enclosing poultry, there are many options available. Choosing the right fencing material for your needs depends on your goals and what kind of predators you want to keep out. Poultry netting, also known as chicken wire, is lightweight and flexible, making it an ideal choice for simple barriers or enclosures. But for those looking for more durable protection, there is a better solution.

Poultry Netting 1 offers a wide range of electric poultry fence netting that is designed to keep animals in and predators out. Unlike traditional fencing materials, electric poultry netting does not require the use of steel posts. Instead, it uses supplemental horizontal wires that add strength and support, allowing it to be used for everything from chicken coops to garden gates and trellis for vining vegetables.

Turbo Chicken Wire: The Ultimate Solution for Stronger Poultry Protection

Electric fence netting works by teaching any predators that come into contact with the fence to associate it with an unpleasant, non-fatal shock. It is powered by a solar-powered energizer, which sends regular pulses of electricity through the fence strands. When a predator comes into contact with the netting it will receive an electric shock that will deter them from returning.

The main drawback to electric netting is that it will not prevent poultry from flying over the fence. However, this can usually be solved by simply clipping a single troublemaker’s flight feathers. Another concern is that the netting does not protect young chicks and ducklings from digging predators. Keeping these small birds in chicken tractors inside the net until they are larger solves this problem.
