Raising your own food is easy! Pastured Poultry Setup that works!
What happens here
Josh positions a mobile chicken coop, measuring 12x10 feet and capable of housing 35-50 birds, in the freshly mowed pasture. He explains that this coop is designed to be moved daily, allowing the chickens to access fresh forage and naturally fertilize different sections of the land. He then sets up 'Premier 1 Shocker Net' poultry netting in a circular pattern around the mobile coop. This netting features a smaller mesh at the bottom to prevent small chicks from escaping. The fence is energized by an 'Intellishock 60' solar fence charger, which is designed to deter predators while also containing the birds. He demonstrates installing the solar charger by driving its integrated ground rod into the earth and connecting its clips to the netting. The charger provides a pulsed electric shock to the fence.
Goal: A mobile chicken coop is strategically placed in the freshly mowed pasture, and electric poultry netting is erected around it, powered by a solar fence charger for both predator deterrence and bird containment.
