AQWXC Telescoping Catch Net for Poultry & Wildlife — 43"–78" Handle, 20" Rubber-Coated Mesh

AQWXC Catch Net is a lightweight, telescoping animal-handling net designed to safely catch and restrain poultry, small mammals, fish and birds using a 20-inch rubber-coated mesh and a 43"–78" adjustable aluminum handle.

If you care for backyard flocks, manage wildlife encounters, or need a portable net for pond and farm use, this tool gives you reach, a soft mesh that protects feathers and fur, and a compact profile for storage. Built from a corrosion-resistant aluminum pole and a fine 0.2" mesh, the net balances strength with gentle handling so animals aren’t injured during capture or transfer. Below are common buyer questions answered clearly so you can decide if this net fits your needs.

How far can the handle reach and how sturdy is it?

The AQWXC Catch Net extends from 43 inches up to 78 inches, providing extra reach for skittish birds or animals in pens and ponds. The pole is made of lightweight aluminum that resists rust and keeps the overall weight low for one-handed use. Locking sections hold the length in place during use, making it stable when you scoop or lift an animal.

• Telescoping range: 43" to 78" for extended reach.
• Material: strong, lightweight aluminum frame for portability.
• Weight balance: designed for easy maneuvering during capture.
• Secure locks: twist-lock sections keep the pole extended.

Will the mesh harm birds or damage feathers?

The net uses a fine 0.2-inch diameter mesh with a rubber coating to reduce rubbing and protect delicate feathers and fur. The 20-inch opening and 24-inch depth provide room to enclose animals without compressing them, lowering stress during handling. Because the mesh is soft yet durable, it’s suitable for rescuing and transferring poultry as well as catching larger pond fish.

• Mesh diameter: 0.2" for gentle contact and protection.
• Rubber coating: minimizes abrasion on feathers and skin.
• Dimensions: 20" opening with 24" depth for secure capture.
• Multi-use: safe for poultry, small mammals, birds, and fish.

What types of animals and tasks is this net best for?

This net is versatile for farm, garden, and wildlife situations: use it to catch chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, small dogs, cats, raccoons, skunks, and pond fish. It’s suited for moving animals between coops, rescuing wildlife without direct contact, and retrieving larger fish. For larger or aggressive animals, pairing the net with a second person or additional restraints is recommended.

• Poultry: chickens, ducks, geese and guinea fowl.
• Wildlife: raccoons, skunks, small mammals and wild birds.
• Pets and critters: cats, small dogs and injured animals.
• Fishing: suitable as a landing net for larger freshwater fish.

How portable is it and what should I know before using it?

The net is lightweight (about 2 pounds) and compacts down for easy transport to farms, ponds, or rescue sites. Practice handling and scooping techniques in a calm setting to make captures quicker and less traumatic, and always check net size relative to the animal before attempting a catch. If shipping damage occurs or you need assistance, AQWXC customer support is available to help.

• Packable: collapses for easy storage and transport.
• Weight: approximately 2 lbs for one-person use.
• Practice: recommended to rehearse gentle techniques first.
• Support: warranty and customer service available for issues.

Who this is for: The AQWXC Catch Net suits small-farm owners, backyard poultry keepers, wildlife rehabilitators, pond anglers and anyone needing a humane, portable tool for gently restraining and moving animals. If you want a durable, soft-mesh net with adjustable reach that won’t harm feathers or fur, this model is a practical, multi-purpose option.
