Portable layer run in the East cow turnout August 2009
The little pen for the new layers took too much room from the big hens. To provide the big hens more room, new greenery and bugs, and be easily movable, we got 160' of electric netting. It's moved every 3-4 days.
By leaning the built-in posts towards each other, and keeping the sides close together, it provide aerial protection. It is not electrified, as that can harm the hens if they get caught in it. They are only out in it in the daytime.
