A lightweight, non-electrified net enclosure for chickens and other poultry. Best when used as a monitored day pen for adult birds and chicks. Allows you to move your flock to fresh grass quickly and easily. Features a built-in step-through gate.
Because this fence cannot be electrified, we recommend that you move your birds to a safe, secure location at night. NoShock™ Hen Pen will NOT stop predators.
For protection from predators, look to Shock-Or-Not™ Poultry Fence which can also be used a day pen for young birds.

How to Install
Installation Tips
- Before installing line posts, stretch the net out in an open area. For best results, ensure posts are woven through the mesh using the same vertical columns.
- The white post caps come detached to allow you to easily weave the line posts into the net without snagging. If desired, an acrylic adhesive can be used to permanently secure them to the post.
- Many find building a circular pen easier than creating a square or rectangular space. Why? Because measured post spacings are not as critical. To begin, secure the first and last post together. Then create a small circular enclosure with the remaining posts. Progressively expand the circular area outward to add tension. For more support when using a circular enclosure, position the posts so the double-spike faces inward.
- When moving the pen, or for storage, walk along the fence, removing the posts from the soil and holding them in your hand in a tidy bundle. This allows the loose netting to fold together into pleats. After all posts have been collected, lay the netting onto the ground and roll up the folds towards the bundle of posts. (This “fold and then roll” process is very similar to our electrifiable nets.)
Consult the assembly instructions (linked above) for additional information.
Precautions
For flighty birds, clip their flight feathers on one wing to prevent escape.
Rabbits, chipmunks, mice and other small critters may chew through the nonelectrified strings of the HenPen causing damage to the fence.

Excellent product, very easy setup.

This fence is very easy to assemble and set up. Perfect to allow our chicks to bug and graze outside their coop. The only problem we are having is that rabbits are cutting the fencing in order to get inside. Can’t figure why since the same grassy lawn is both inside and out of the fencing, and the chick feeder is inside the coop (rabbits can’t get to it). The grass is always greener syndrome???

The fence, once assembled is exactly what I wanted. Posts stay in the ground fairly well. On a hill and occasionally I have to reset a leaner. My only disappointment was the assembly required. I didn’t comprehend that this fence doesn’t arrive assembled, like the video I watched. I have trouble bending and thought all I would need to do was install. However, I did manage, and it was relatively easy. My chickens love their new expanded area. The really don’t go near the fence or peck at it, so I can’t say how it holds up to that type of abuse.

Product is extremely overpriced for something that the rabbits destroy in a matter of days.

We got the 68' NoShock poultry fence on the recommendation of a neighbor. We set it up yesterday and it is brilliant! The girls are SO happy exploring their extra run. I just wish we had known about it earlier. The initial set up was a bit challenging, but once done it is set and ready for subsequent moves.
