Is deer netting the same as bird netting? Would one work better than the other?
Thanks Ralphie! I see that most of the bird netting is very wide. Is it going work to cut it into narrower strips that would match the height of the fence? Of course, I know they could fly over....sigh. But I can only do so much.
But, Heidi: have you told them to stay out of your mulched flower bed? Certainly, if you've said that, they will stay home to trash it!It's
a good idea!we have one-with mulch just like hers too lol!
Is bird netting heavier gauge than deer netting? I thought they were pretty much the same stuff, just different sizing (7 x 50 - 100 vs 15 x 15) Perhaps I'm wrong. I found that my deer netting held up very well, but was a pain to get untangled from the grass that grew up through it.NO... to the deer netting!
I have tried to use deer netting in places (beings I am a tightwad and deer netting is cheaper) It break and rots and the birds just walk through it in no time.
You can get bird netting on Amazon reasonably. That said if I had just a small hole I would use the deer netting knowing it is temporary. I have a long run I tried to divide in half for my Crested Cream Leg bars to keep them separate during breeding season using deer netting. It last about 3 weeks before they had a hole in it. I then had to get it out of there as I was afraid they would get tanged in it and get hurt. That is not a worry with bird netting.
The above is just my opinion and worth what you paid for it.
WHAT!? You don't love tomatoes? I like them but they don't like me much.
I feel bad for these little feed store chicks....no mommy....no scratching in the dirt until warmer weather. And are the other chickens going to like them?
