Who Starkline suits

Starkline suits keepers who want a complete kit in one box to rotate hens, ducks or turkeys over grass. A 164 ft net makes a roughly 40 x 40 ft paddock, enough run space for a sizable flock by the 8–10 sq ft per hen guideline. Keep grass mown under the bottom strand, use the ground rod, and check voltage with the tester. Netting deters ground predators but not hawks or owls, so shut birds in a coop at night.

Electric netting can tangle birds or wildlife if it is left unpowered, so keep it on whenever it is up.
