    When can I merge my flocks together?

    New chicks from TSC today

    Chicken Wire

    Quote: We have the same problem here in TX. Couldn't bury the wire to save our lives; too much rock We just bent it out about 12 - 18" and then covered it with dirt. So far no critters and I'm not constantly catching my boots on the wire since it's covered. Good luck and keep us posted...
