    I have my chicken wire buried, and saw no signs of digging, but I suppose I will have to get to replacing it with the same 1/4" hardware cloth right away. I didn't know the buggers could squeeze through 3/4" so easily. Seems like I will have to follow your lead, and upgrade the entire area for...

    Introduction

    A few mentioned it might be a ferret in the thread I started, but no one I've spoken to thought we could have them in this area, but honestly it seems like pretty much nothing could have gotten into the run, so I might have to buy it.

I will have to...

    Introduction

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Very new to chickens, which I acquired entirely by accident only a few months ago. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I currently have 12 chickens, one is a rooster, one an adult hen, and the rest adolescents. (3)...
