    Electric poultry netting question

    Oh, good call on the pipe wrap! I got through last winter using a heated duck waterer and some of those black rubber bowls, but I dream of a more automated water system at least for summer. The "hot" wire leading out to the fence is actually insulated wire meant for burying directly...

    Awesome, thank you for the tip! I love your coop, by the way - we're planning on building a secondary coop next spring because chicken math, and this one's on my shortlist.

    Electric poultry netting question

    I think you're right. We'll work on that over the next week or so- it's super easy to adjust the electric fence to fill the rest of that gap, once we get that spot insulated. By pipe insulation do you mean the pool-noodle looking foam pieces that go over pipes? I know we've got some of that...

After rearranging the fence line three times I've found my solution, with thanks to another post on here. I'll run the insulated wire out of the garage, through an old garden hose, to the post...

    Electric poultry netting question

    Electric fencing newbie here - I'm working on setting up poultry netting from Premier1 to fend off the local fox. I've got an energizer that can use plug-in or battery power. The run is near the garage so I'm planning on running the hot lead and ground out the window to the corner of the garage...
