What Premier 1 makes

Premier 1 is best known for electric fencing, and its poultry line grows out of that. In our catalogue:

  • PoultryNet: 48 in and 42 in electric nets in 164 ft rolls (energizer sold separately), PoultryNet Plus 100 ft kits with a solar or plug-in energizer, an electric net gate that stays live when opened, and a Twist Butler reel.
  • Energizers: the Solar IntelliShock 30 (0.3 J, listed for 1–2 netting rolls) and the PRS Pro 100 solar unit (1.0 J, about 6 sunless days of reserve per the listing).
  • Brooding: 12 x 12 in (22 W, up to 20 chicks) and 16 x 16 in (up to 30 chicks) heating plates with push-button legs, a full brooder kit with panels, and the Prima heat lamp with a tilt shut-off switch and heavy guard.
  • Feeding and water: the All-Season heated nipple waterer (100 W, listed to -20°F), the 6-gallon Optimus waterer, an 11 lb galvanized cone feeder and a divided grit and oyster shell feeder.

Who Premier 1 suits

Premier 1 suits keepers who rotate birds on grass or want a moveable predator fence for ducks and turkeys. Netting works best on mown ground with a good ground rod, and it stops ground predators, not hawks. The heat plates are a simple brooder upgrade from a lamp.

If you use the Prima lampFire marshals prefer heat plates. Hang any lamp by a chain or cable, never by the cord or a clamp alone, at least 20 inches from bedding (Penn State), and avoid long-term extension cords.

Alternatives from other brands

Starkline sells 48 in poultry netting kits with solar or AC energizers, and RentACoop makes plug-in energizers. For heat plates, RentACoop, Brinsea EcoGlow and K&H are the usual comparisons. For heated waterers, look at Farm Innovators and API.

Premier 1 Supplies: questions

Does Premier 1 PoultryNet come with an energizer?
The 164 ft rolls do not; the PoultryNet Plus 100 ft kits include a solar or plug-in energizer, a ground rod and a tester, per the listings.
Which Premier 1 heat plate do I need?
The 12 x 12 in plate is listed for up to 20 chicks and the 16 x 16 in for up to 30. Fewer fit as they grow.
How cold can the Premier 1 heated waterer go?
Premier 1 lists the All-Season waterer as unfrozen to -20°F, with a 100 W heater.
Will PoultryNet stop hawks?
No. Electric netting deters ground predators; cover the run or lock birds in at night against birds of prey.
