New chicken pen out of pallets

[allieloveschickens]

What a good idea! Looks good! Did you bury any wire? Or are you going to put bricks/rocks around it to keep out any digging critters?

No I didn't do any wire. I figured between the solar power electric fence I already have and plan on installing later. And rocky! My American bulldog staying within a few feet from it I should be good...

Yay Chicks! :

Wow. That's a lot of pallets!

Yes I found a place that will give me all I want. Lol.. I will paint them eventually. Just to help them not rot to fast. But I figured even if I have to replace the panels every couple years or so. It's not a big deal since I have already laid out the ground work and can get new pallets at anytime. Remember. I will cut big holes out for better viewing I think that wil make it look a little nicer too...​

Going to start out with fishing line or string. If that doesn't keep them out I will upgrade to the net or I might just buy a few 1x4s and run the plastic or regular wire across the top. What ever comes out cheaper...

Well I'm thinking if you put the fishing line all over. Having no more than a few inches or so in between. Either (a) the hawk will be afraid to try to get in. Or (b) if it does get in it will have a hard time getting out. And I might turn my dog loose on it so I wont break any laws....lol...
