4m x 3m Omlet pen, cube, new auto door still boxed and coop light

[legend21]

Hi all, I have omlet fencing round our part of garden dedicated to chickens, what I want to ask and I bet it is dumb, if I buy battery to make it electric fence will the chickens not get shocked or am I supposed to use it only when they are asleep?

 

Help please

Hello I haven't used out electric fencing for a while, but when I did they chooks did get the odd shock when they tried to stick their heads through but they only did it once or twice, the dogs on the other hand

 

It will keep them safer, and they will learn quite quickly not to go too near One tip is to keep the grass short around the fence or it will short out and flatten the battery in the transformer.
