sallyj Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I have discovered holes in the Omlet netting where some of my hens have been escaping into the garden. I don't know what has broken the wire in the netting to create big holes. Do you think a fox could have bitten through the wire? I'm sure the hens could't have done it. Has anyone else had this problem? Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 yes, it has happened to us, and I am afraid to say that it is most likely a fox that has bitten through. keep a very careful eye! can you electrify your netting? you can repair the bitten bits with little connector type things (prob not the technical name...) but if foxy has found a nice place with the possibility of a feathery takeaway I am afraid he will be back.

NatalieC Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 This has happened to me too - I discovered it was actually OH and a bit of over enthusiastic lawn mowing. I did find that I could prolong the life of it by turning it upside down and re-threading the poles the other way up (I know the holes are smaller at the bottom but it didn't make any difference) - I have now replaced my original netting but doing this made it last 4 years which is pretty good!
