For this BB, you will set up a movable electric fence for paddock shift systems (show a move)!



For this BB, the point values are as follows:
     - Using 110v ac power - 1 point

Here is our setup to move our chickens around our yard. We move them about every 2 weeks with our movable coop and polywire fencing.

I have helped my husband move the electric fencing before, so felt confident I could do it by myself. I moved them from a 50 foot paddock to a 100 foot paddock. Much more room!
