something if you've got a roost in your chicken coop right there these birds aren't going to be able to fly up to a really high chicken roost you are such a sweetheart gosh so understand that your chicken roost needs to probably be a little bit over knee high so probably no higher than two and a half or three feet okay so that's how you clip chicken wings to keep your birds inside this poultry netting again i'll post a link to this this is premiere 1 poultry netting and i'll also post a link to the cool door that i'm getting ready to take you over and see and edna is good to go watch be free no worse for the wear edna's awesome so let's go over and show you how to automate your chicken coop the contraptions that we have on this chicken coop we're going to walk around the whole coop and give you guys some cool ideas so this is called the chicken guard and this has been on for about a year now just had to replace the batteries for the very first time there's a button right here you hit for it to go up a button right here you hit for it to go down and then you can program you put the time in and you set it there's also a little photo eye right here that will pick up when it gets dark outside and it'll close the door automatically at night and that's what it's all about when you've got this poultry netting you've got to keep your chickens safe so i'll hit the button right here and you'll see the door go down the door will go down takes about five seconds for it to go down and it runs on a little paracord right here it has little latches at the bottom that hook in so that it will not be broken into by predators you can push up on it all you want to but if you don't use the string it won't go up we'll hit the button for it to raise and again i've had this up here it may be two years old uh that i've had this thing up here i'll post a link to the installation video of this at the end of this video this is our poultry netting right here our electrified poultry netting you need to make sure that you put electricity to this we use a solar intellishock 60 solar charger and that will pop the chicken if it tries to go through the net you don't want to lose your chickens this is all about being safe because once they get out they can't get back in if you've clipped their wings now the
