- 1). Place the movable fence where you want it and open the door.
- 2). Get the birds into the habit of following you by shaking a container of feed and sprinkling it on the ground inside the portable fence. Use the same trick
to return them to the main coop. - 3). Allow the fowl temporary access to a portable poultry fence. The location should be changed daily to leave the manure soiled area and give access to fresh greens.
- 4). Ensure that the poultry have water, additional feed and shade at all times and that laying hens have nesting boxes for laying eggs.
- 5). Have roosts available, but do not use a portable fence as a permanent coop arrangement. Return the birds to the main coop nightly.
