Poultry-Fence Construction Economical of Netting
Not wanting to put a high poultry netting on my fence to keep my poultry at home, I devised the method shown, and was thus enabled to use 24-in. wire instead of 48-in., thereby effecting a saving, as well as not marring the appearance of the fence. Chickens will not attempt to fly over this wire but once or twice, as they endeavor to alight on the pickets of the fence instead of the wire, and consequently are thrown back by striking the wire. The wire should be supported at each post, as shown in the sketch.—Roy H. Poston, Flat River, Mo.
