    Hawk Tried to Get My Chickens Today . . . now what?

    I am close to you and I have also been researching Hardware Cloth. Tractor Supply Co has it for a good price, but I am not seeing it in 48"x100'. I would prefer 48" (vs a smaller width). TSC has a much better price than Home Depot. I have also looked into online suppliers, like Wire Cloth...
