Hello I am New to Chickens South Houston Area

Hello, it's nice to meet you!

Absolutely! As a kid who touched a hot wire on the farm I grew up on I can attest a hot wire will send them on their way!

Outdid you. Was netting bait fish standing in a creek. A rock was wired to a hotwire pulling it down so that the cattle could not sneak out through the creek bed. Bumped it with my bare back. Ended up face down in the creek. BAM !!!! I have had a great respect for electricity ever since.

That was an eye opener!
