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.

This product is absolutely horrible. It is already broken. I would not buy. Only had it a couple weeks.

I bought this again because I was most happy with quality.

This fencing is a joke. I’m going to inquire about a refund. It’s flimsy, short and tiny. The “stake pegs” are cheaper than any tent peg I’ve ever seen. It shouldn’t be advertised as chicken fencing. I’ve had to modify it greatly for it to even stand on its own and add another 2 feet of netting so my chickens don’t fly out. It looks terrible and works even worse. I have many other products by this company so I’m surprised and disappointed. Hoping for a refund but with the cost of shipping it took to get to Hawaii. I’m figuring I’m just out $130. PLEASE do not buy.

This product is well made. Well packed, great instructions. It fit the bill for what I wanted it for: Not for hens but to keep my garden safe from rabbits.

Great product and even better customer service!
