Portable Sectional Poultry Fencing
Sectional poultry fencing has several advantages over stationary fencing: It can be easily moved, the poultry yard being made larger, smaller, or shifted; an area may be planted to a crop and gradually included in the yard, furnishing greens for the poultry. Also, the tenant who does not care to put down permanent equipment, will find sectional fencing desirable.
Poultry Fencing Made in Portable Sections Has Several Advantages over a Stationary Barrier
Sections are practical to about 18 ft. long, and should be 7 ft. high for the lighter breeds of poultry. If the fencing is to be used for grown stock only, the fine-mesh wire below may be omitted, and 2-in. mesh used. Some sections should be fitted with gates, and the top batten should be set down about 1 ft., so as not to afford footing for the poultry. The sections are lashed together with wire, and supported by an occasional post, or guyed to buildings or supports.
