I commend you for putting so much effort into making this and protecting your chickens from ground predators.I cringe every time I see a run out of chicken wire because it only traps them.

❤ you are the one! Finally a video I understand so I can protect my flock! I lost 6 chickens in 3 days...I have the M120...! It was free...brand new in the box ... With this info I can go to the store and get wire and insulators and secure my chickens! Thank you for sharing this!

You’re so welcome!! Good luck keeping the predators out! Go 3 lines, one low to the ground, about 15” up then we did ours about 2.5” up or so. Play with the heights for what predator you think you’re dealing with.

I bought what fish and game suggested.. poly wire, though? And poly tape. And only one foot six foot copper rod. Do I need three? I think your video is very helpful for me doing it myself now though! I’m going to go buy the wire instead with wood posts. But is one rod ok? Thank you for your video!! 🥰

I’m at my last straw…we’ve lost 7 chickens this week, it’s either a raccoon or a bobcat, we live in North Carolina, we completely button up the pin now no holes but found another dead chicken this morning , so I believe it’s time for a little voltage, we have coyote’s also but there’s no way they can get in, raccoons are extremely smart I think they can program a compute, possibly a weasel but I ain’t scene one of those ever in my area, they’re are some mink but I don’t think they can eat a whole chicken plus what ever is getting them can carry a 5 lbs chicken . Good luck and thanks for the video !

Tim, I’m so sorry. Weasel can get through a hole the size of a quarter. Raccoon can open doors, so we use carabiners to secure all locks. The Gallagher M120 is worth every Penny. Do 3 lines, first line about 8” off the ground, 2nd line around 15” and 3rd line about 24-30” off the ground. Good luck.

Lis the chicken wire/mesh electrified or just the 3 lines?
@rustymoosefarm
@rustymoosefarm Ай бұрын
The hardware mesh is not electrified, only the 3 lines are hot. What other questions do you have?

Thanks for the informative tour. Does it use a lot of electricity? Or does it use electricity only when it zaps something?

It uses VERY little electricity. Even when it grounds out a predator and zaps something at 7500 volts, there is almost no amperage (which is what kills things), and very little actual power being used. Power (wattage) is volts x amps. 7500 volts times almost nothing is very little...and that is only when it grounds out.

It’s always running voltage through it. Our electric bill has gone up minimally. Worth the cost for peace of mind with our wide variety of predators here in the forest.

It's better to use insulated wire for electric fence grounding,

I purchased double insulated 12 1/2 gauge wire rated at 20,000 volts to connect my energizer to the fence.Better safe than sorry!
