Netting for Chicken Runs February 6, 2024 Poultry Keeping Prevent Muddy Chicken Runs with Netting Struggling with muddy chicken runs? You’re not alone. Mud can create a mess and pose health risks to your chickens. Fortunately, Collins Nets offers the perfect solution: netting for chicken runs. At Collins Nets, we stock netting specifically designed for chicken runs. Our polyethylene bird netting, commonly used as roof netting to protect outdoor pens, can also be laid over grassy areas to prevent the ground from becoming muddy. How Netting Prevents Muddy Chicken Runs Laying netting over grassy areas creates a barrier that maintains soil integrity. It prevents chickens from excessive scratching, a primary cause of mud. This keeps the grass intact and the soil firm and dry, even during wet weather. My dad, Nick Collins, kept chickens in our field for years, and it never became muddy thanks to bird netting over the grassy areas. Transform your chicken run into a cleaner, healthier space with our netting for chicken runs. Collins Nets offers high-quality polyethylene bird netting that is easy to install and effectively prevents muddy grounds. Explore our range of netting today!
