We bought this net to use as a last resort when dealing with a "jail break" and our rooster and hens escaping their enclosure. They are still poults but are large for their age and prone to escaping when we open the door to add treats or put them to bed for the night. The net has a large opening (which is great), but the net itself is very deep/large. It needs to be a different shape to be more effective. Less tapered and more round at the base would be helpful in capturing the birds without hurting them. As it is, the birds can work their way further into the end of the net making it a little more difficult to extricate them without loss of feathers. We think this net is a very good width at the mouth of the net where it attaches to the rim and handle. That said, we would buy it again. It works, although the birds are becoming experts at evasion when they see it come out.
