    Chain linked kennel

    What is everyones thoughts on using chain linked fence? It seems easier to put up, but will it keep predators out. Im looking at one at home depot or lowes. Trying to get our chicken run figured out but fencing ideas keep getting me down.

    Chicken run or yard

    What is the best wire or fencing? I have all kinds of predators here so we know to put a top over the run and make sure everyone is in at night, but need ideas on the type of material to build the run itself.

    Thank you. I didn't know about who lays eggs better. I do like orpingtons. Now what is the difference between Ameracauna and Aracana? I think EE's are different also, right?
