What happens here

The farmer demonstrates setting up the Premier1 'Shock or Not' poultry netting. He unrolls the netting, pushing the built-in fiberglass posts with metal spikes into the ground. He explains the netting features both a coarser electrified nylon mesh and a finer non-electrified mesh. For baby chicks, the fence can be left unplugged, but for adult birds and predator deterrence, it should be energized. He emphasizes that round setups put less stress on the poles than square corners. It's important to set up the fence when the soil is moist to easily insert the posts.

Goal: The farmer unrolls and positions the Premier1 'Shock or Not' poultry netting around the desired grazing area, highlighting the importance of proper setup to contain chickens and deter predators.

let's setup the premiere fence okay Jacques are not poultry netting this is the shoc or not so you see on this side there is a coarser nylon with a wire built into it and on this side there is a mesh with no electrical in there and let me get you a little close-up so you can see it it's kind of tough to see but there's a metal braid inside this wire that is energized pretty simple and you basically just step on these pegs right here I've bent this peg right here but we can easily or kind of easily stretch it out if you've got really hard soil so you want to put this in the ground when the ground is moist okay you don't want to come out here and try to stab it into a brick if your ground is really really hard so it rained about two days ago we still got nice moist soil and we're gonna put this in sometimes installing this net can be a bit of a challenge because it gets tangled up a little bit so if you pick it up and you store it correctly you won't have to worry about it it comes with strings to tie up these rolls so that it doesn't get all tangled up so save those strings if you buy some of this and you'll use it again this is around the rolls come in about 120 to 150 foot rolls we're going to start right here where we're gonna stick our energizer and where are all of our feed and stuff yes so we can walk in and out of the coop in case we need to at any time so it's easier with two people and I prefer to put this mesh the thinner mesh to the coat inside of the coop to the inside to where the chickens are going to be okay the reason being is that if you're having baby chicks out here on pasture that's what this is for to keep them from getting shot and this is to shock predators when they come in so this will solve our Fox problem [Music]
