    Need Help Melding chicken Wire

    We built our coop this summer, and it is elevated about 18" off the ground, so we put 36" hardware cloth halfway in the ground and attached the other end to our coop. However in our run we bought some tin from an old barn (cause hardware cloth is expensive) and did the same thing in our run...

    Introducing new chickens to your coop.

    thanks for the comment, I think we will try it a little different next time. We bought a really pretty Blue Sumatra hen and she keeps standing out in the rain. I don't guess this will hurt her if it doesn't get to cold. I have a coop that is suspended off the ground, so we chased them all...
