Description

At Premier 1, we’ve been providing electric fencing, sheep and goat supplies, clippers and shearers, livestock ear tags, poultry supplies and expert advice for over 40 years! Unlike big farmstores, we offer relatively few products, which we use every day. So we know our products much better than others know theirs. And long after (years, not months) our fence reaches your door, we’ll still be here to support you. Visit the Store USA’s most trusted electric netting source! Premier’s on-farm staff (in Iowa) is ready to help you get started. Visit the Store Contain and control the movement of poultry on a daily or weekly basis A prefabricated, portable electric fence that has 12 horizontal strands (11 conductive), is 48" tall installed and has string verticals every 3". Built-in line posts are spaced every 10'. Keeps in chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry while keeping their ground-based predators out. Recommended for active, flighty birds. The taller 48" net is more likely to discourage large predators such as coyotes and dogs. Arrives to your door as a preassembled fence. One roll (164 ft) weighs only 24 lbs. You will need a fence energizer to electrify the net. The same “unroll and then unfold” process applies to all electrified nets. Minimal strength or skill needed (and no tools). Extra supports such as FiberTuff step-in posts (sold separately) are useful at corners, curves and ends. Electric fence is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. A common mistake is not electrifying it. Animals may escape or become entangled (and may die). On a % basis, entanglement is very rare, but it can and does occur. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in. The first time you put the animals in the net, you should be available to watch them for a while. That way if one were to get into the fence and get caught, you can turn the power off and get them loose. Electrifying the fence with an energizer is essential. For the fence to be effective at keeping out predators, it must be electrified to deter them from the flock. Energizers sold separately. What’s the best fence energizer? Poultry, due to the nature of their legs and minimal body weight, have much higher resistance to electricity than a cow, horse, pig or dog. And the fence, due to its low-to-the-ground nature, is prone to high weed contact. So low output units (such as those sold in farm stores) usually disappoint. We recommend using a pulse-style 0.6 joule unit or larger for up to 3 rolls of PoultryNet. Units with less joule output may work for 1 to 2 rolls of netting if grass contact is kept to an absolute minimum. The horizontal strands are energized (except for the bottom one that rests on the grass) by a fence energizer. When chickens or ground-based predators touch it, they receive a high-voltage shock from the brief electric pulse—and learn to avoid it. This is netting’s biggest negative. Too much green grass or weed contact lowers the voltage of the fence. To overcome: A good rule of thumb is to buy an energizer with more joule output than you’ll think you need. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output. Birds will fly over the fence if there is insufficient feed, too crowded, or if they’re trying to avoid fights. Some hens are just plain stubborn and refuse to “get with the program”. When first let out in the morning, watch for the hen that gets out first. She’s the lead troublemaker and prime contender for clipping. If there’s an escape problem, we find it’s usually led by a hen or two with the rest simply following along. Identifying her and clipping the flight feathers on one wing usually solves this problem. This does not have to be done for the whole flock. Note: Electric poultry netting won’t stop young birds small enough to slip through the 2" net openings.
