Yeah, I'm wondering if the electric poultry net works the same way. I'm still considering it. I suppose though, given that my chickens don't go out in the snow, it could be turned off completely during much of the winter.
I've considered electric too but mine fly over fences. Granted, I don't clip wings. But they fly over higher fences than that. I'd like to hear more about how electric fences work for chicken owners.
