I am building a small run off of part of my coop to house a single hen and her chicks. It will be temporary and inside a larger area with chain link fencing. I have heard mixed opinions on using chicken wire for runs. Is it safe to use? It will be secured to a wooden frame to help it be more secure and sturdy. I do not want to risk the chicks getting hurt though. Do you think the holes would be too big or that there could be other issues in using the chicken wire? What about using chicken wire as the roofing and another wire at the lowest areas? Or should I just ditch the chicken wire all together? Thanks guys!
