I have a roll of electric netting set up right now that is not energized. I bought it last fall right before the heavy snow came so I just got it set up and let the chickens out for the first time in months. I do not have an energizer, but I figured it would keep them contained until I get one.
Now I notice that this might be potentially dangerous for the birds, as they are trying to push their way through it. I am concerned that one might try and fly over it, and get entangled and die.
And that got me thinking. If it was engergized and a chicken got entangled she would suffer a mighty painful death.
Whats everyones thoughts on this type of fence? I bought it because i did not want to construct a permanent fence and I liked the way it can be moved around and the ease of setup.
should I be concerned about chickens getting entangled in the net? or once it is engergized do they learn to steer clear away from it?
