If you own chickens, you know just how hard it is to protect them from such things as fox, dogs, and badgers. Mr. Fox knows a good thing when he sees it and an unprotected chicken farm or chicken coop is his favorite nightly visit. You know how it goes, you go to bed and about the time you are drifting off to sleep, you hear the chickens raising a ruckus. You have to jump out of bed, grab your gun, and run outside in all kinds of weather to protect your chickens from Mr. Fox or one of his counterparts.
Instead of spending, the entire winter months fighting of Mr. Fox and his friends invest in poultry netting. Electric poultry nets were not made just to keep the chickens in a specific area, but were designed to keep Mr. Fox out of the chicken coop. Electric poultry fencing will ensure that you can sleep all night long while your chickens sleep and Mr. Fox sits outside the fence wishing he could find a way to get inside.
Electric chicken netting is designed to protect the chickens by giving an electric shock to any predator that decides your chickens, peacocks, or ducks look like a late night snack. A matter of fact, a chicken electric fence is very fox-proof.
Poultry nets are designed with spacings between the wires to begin at 5cm increments for the first four spacings and then increasing to the top. The nets are very suitable for keeping Mr. Fox out of the hen house, but birds that are smaller than bantam size can slip through the netting, so you will have to watch those little chicks.
If one electric chicken netting is not large enough for your area, you can easily had more with clips that allow the pulse to travel from one net to the other with maximum effect. This way no matter how large of an area you have your chicken netting will be able to protect your chickens with enough power to electrify any predator.
The electric poultry netting comes complete with 12 electroplastic twines with 11 being conductors, 15 single prong posts, and is 50m long and 105cm high.
Instead of inviting, Mr. Fox and all of his friends to feast on your chickens invest in deterrent that will keep all the predators away, so you can enjoy a fresh egg or two in the morning instead of finding out Mr. Fox had all of them for his midnight snack.
Remember, with chicken netting Mr. Fox will not be able to enter, as the netting is truly fox-proof. What a great way to let Mr. Fox know he is not invited to dinner.
