ABSTRACT:
A fowl retention system is used to passively retain fowl in a preselected natural habitat or a preselected created habitat and to compress the fowl territory. The fowl retention system includes a food/water station contained within a barrier assembly, a protective structure, and a man-made field strip. The fowl retention system provides for the compression of fowl territories, thereby increasing the fowl population per unit area. Further compression of the fowl territory locations provides an additional level of compression by propagating the high density population of the fowl. The protective structure is designed to shield the fowl from the elements and predators. The field strip is planted with native vegetation for both cover and the production of food. The food and water station provides a continuous food and water supply for the fowl.
