    Chicken Wire and Chicken Heads Necks

    well re-checking everything-- I was wrong. I have 1/4 inch hardware cloth I plan on using for an apron & 1 inch chicken wire I want to just put from the bottom of the coop to 2 ft tall so my chickens don't stick out their heads.

The rooster has...

    I have 3; a rooster--gorgeous! 2 hens--one of which has a lighter comb. She is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. We've nicknamed her 'dummy' and we always have to look for her as she is always a few minutes late to the party. Also she seems incapable of figuring out where the door to the...

    Chicken Wire and Chicken Heads Necks

    Can a chicken stick its head through chicken wire? I'd like to put some around the bottom of my dawg kennel/chicken run. A couple of them like to stick their heads through the chain link will chicken wire stop that?
