Chicken Fencing

Chicken netting—aka poultry netting—is a portable fence that protects your chickens from predators. Chicken netting is easy to install and lightweight. It can help reduce losing valuable birds or eggs, keep flocks separate to avoid spreading disease, and prevent chickens foraging into vegetable gardens. The different types of chicken netting include:

• Chain Link: This type of netting keeps out dogs; however, some predators like raccoons are able to reach inside
• Electric: Wire fencing is hooked up to a power source that sends a low-level shock to any predator that touches it
• Rabbit Wire: This often consists of larger opens that protects against predators while also allowing chickens to graze and scratch at the ground
• Chicken Wire: This thin wire is woven together to create hexagonal openings

Whether it's for predator protection, cost-effective coop security, or other important reasons—choosing the right kind of chicken netting helps create safe and enclosed spaces. If you have questions regarding which type of chicken netting to purchase, always consult your vet.
