Premier 1 Supplies Electric Poultry Netting

Full review

Premier 1 Supplies electric poultry netting has earned its reputation as the gold standard for backyard chicken keepers and homesteaders who want to give their birds the freedom of pasture without sacrificing security. This portable electric netting comes in various heights and lengths, typically featuring vertical strands woven with electrified horizontal lines that deliver a safe but memorable shock to any predator foolish enough to test the boundary. Made from durable polywire or polytwine with rigid plastic posts built directly into the netting, it sets up quickly across grass, dirt, or uneven terrain, allowing you to rotate your flock to fresh forage while keeping foxes, raccoons, coyotes, and neighborhood dogs at bay.

What makes this netting particularly valuable for poultry keepers is its dual-purpose design: the mesh openings are small enough to contain chickens, ducks, geese, and other birds, preventing them from wandering off or squeezing through gaps, while the electrified strands simultaneously deter digging and climbing predators from the outside. The posts are spaced closely together and sharpened for easy insertion into the ground, and the netting itself is lightweight enough that one person can roll it up, move it, and reinstall it in a new location within minutes. This rotational flexibility supports healthier pasture management, reduces mud and manure buildup in any single area, and gives birds continuous access to insects, grass, and seeds that improve egg quality and flock vitality.

Pairing this netting with a reliable energizer, whether solar-powered or plug-in, completes the system and ensures consistent voltage even during cloudy stretches or in remote coop setups far from electrical outlets. Homesteaders appreciate the versatility of using the same netting to create temporary runs, expand existing coop footprints, or protect vulnerable chicks during their first forays outside the brooder. Built with UV-resistant materials to withstand sun exposure and weather extremes, Premier 1's poultry netting represents a long-term investment in flock safety, giving chicken keepers the confidence to let their birds roam more naturally while dramatically reducing the losses that come from predator attacks.
