Electric Fence Advice Please

As long as you use an engergiser & connect it up ok they will be fine. The first time they get a shock it will startle them  but it wont kill them and they soon learn to avoid it.  Even when mine is switched off they avoid it now.

With the fence running at 3000 volts they aren't bothered by it! Even though the current is also running round the perimeter the voltage is fine. Dogs and foxes yelp !! We are using standard electric fence wire throughout.
Has anyone any ideas please as we really would like to rotate the paddocks to prevent it all turning in to a dust or mud bath.

Ah yes, the clever chooks win again!
As Casey said, you need a net, but, even so they get wise. Ours realised that they got a shock if they put their noses on the fence, but were insulated by their feathers if they pushed sideways and got under that way. We needed to run a thick non-electrified wire around the bottom. They do seem to be able to sense the field. It is important to have it switched on more often than not as otherwise they push holes in the net and rabbits chew on it. If using a net, it is important to keep it tight or the wind flapping will cause wires to break over time.
