Chicken Catcher 5000 – Poultry Catching Net

Saw a few reviews that referenced the "weak" rim, but this was not an issue to me. This is advertised as a catching net (not a transporting net) and works perfectly well in that regard. Whether its escaped baby chicks, full-grown fowl, rabbits, inadvertently trapped critters in the barn, etc. this is a great net! Once you have your critter snagged, the net is generous enough in size to twist around said critter to transport safely by hand and/or have enough room to maneuver into a better angle to transfer from net to hand-hold. If you require a net to transport heavy fowl or animals (not wanting to touch them and can't be creative in your ways of transport other than via extended pole in the net,) this might not be the net for you. It served my purposes well and I highly recommend.

Tokki the Magic Rabbit lets me hand carry him from his hutch in the kitchen to his fenced “ranch” in the backyard. But he avoids being picked up outside. This large and sturdy chicken net makes it easier. He doesn’t like it and still runs away, but sooner or later he gives up and steps into the net and we make the return journey to the house. Highly recommended.

TERRIBLE QUALITY, WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE

Handle damaged pre packaging.

I just want to say that after having chickens for 5 years i wish i bought this net sooner for the rebels in the flock each year. Its truly a blessing 🙌🏻

Bought this a few months ago and it broke where the connections are the pins that hold the extension together rusted out and then it snapped… don’t waste your money on this junk!!! Very disappointed

AWSOME net. I haven’t used it yet but I know it’s going to work very well. It is built of sturdy material and built well. It’s worth the money.

Works great for those hard to catch chickens without hurting them. We love it.

This is the best thing I have ever purchased. Chicken catcher 5000 is EXACTLY how I would describe it.

I probably should return this item. It seems well made but it is heavy, which makes it difficult to move it fast enough to catch a chicken. Maybe you can catch one if they are in an enclosed space?

Sturdy net!

It's an extendable net. Worked for a short while but they caught on fast and now they scatter as soon as they see it! It does what it's supposed to and is pretty well built. Easier to just get them when they're asleep.

Lightweight easy to use. Utilized it to move over a hundred chickens on the farm and worked as intended.

Great value. This net is kept in a barn, exposed to the elements and it has not rusted or deteriorated at all. It’s great for catching fast chickens

This is a net large enough to catch large chickens and ducks. In my opinion, it's too expensive. That's the only reason I took off a star.

I bought this for catching our pheasants that always seem to get out. Doesn’t help we have naughty goats. It’s really sturdy but not heavy. It comes in handy catching our exploding birds.

This net is well made and works well. One of my concerns was getting a net that would not hurt the birds by being too small or having thin netting which would tangle up and hurt their legs. With this net, I am able to scoop a bird up without lifting too far the ground, then quickly lower the net so that the bird is caught, but still standing on its own. I can then easily reach into the net and pick the bird up holding their wings in the folded state.

Net came without the handle....Sent feedback and they immediately sent out a complete new net....
Product quality is very good.

I like it for the most part, but with its adjustability features are a bit crude and hard to adjust. Catches the poultry great inside the netting.

I’ve had a variety of chickens and other birds for years and I’ve bought different nets over the years. They work but nothing like this net. I love the fact you can shorten the handle in small spaces and if you need to catch a bird up on top of a building you can reach them with the longer handle. Also, this works great with my pigeons and my super large roosters. The small holes in the net really keep the bird from getting tangled. And it makes it much easier to lift the caught lbird out of the net without their wing tips feet and head poking through large net webbing that other nets have had in the past. Really like this net it’s worth the money.

I really like that this net has quality hardware and feels like it will last! I will update when I use it, for now I am impressed. I have had 2 other nets over the years that fails at the joint of handle and net. This has the hardware to last.
