The biggest problem here so far has been the small wild birds that can slip through the panel openings. For what it would cost me in chicken wire or bird netting I can purchase a pedestal feeder for $120 and still save money especially now that I'm planning on doubling their run space. I know it doesn't show in this pic however I have 1/2 inch hardware cloth extending 2 ft up and 2 ft out, for predator protection.
