Confining or restraining goats during fence rotation?

[KFaye]

I am using the electric fence with plastic posts and the wire tape. I have them in one fenced area then create another. Once the new one is created I movethe controller to the new area. The expensive part is the controller so I only have one and move that. Because they understand the shock and respect it they don't know that the tape is not connected.

I ended up going the most economical route and using what I already had on hand...

My hens are kept in similar electric net fence that the goats are, so I just locked the chickens up in their coop and took their fence over to the goats, fenced in a lush little corner in the new area (adjacent to the existing one) and let them in there. I didn't electrify it because like the previous poster, the goats know the fence and don't touch it.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions!
