I got a Rainbow Asst from CackleBerry and trying to ID some breeds. I have Barred Rocks and she is definitely not one~! This has been pure delight!

Check out www.critterfence.com They make various weights of very easy to work with wire. I bout the 700, 7.5' X 165'. I can fold the bottom to deter digging. My main predators seem to be foxes, weasels and an occasional owl if the chickens don't go in when they should (I make sure they do). They...

Check out www.critterfence.com/ Their fencing is both strong and lightweight and comes in rolls up to 8' high. I bought the 700 weight, 7.5 ft X 165 ft so I can fold it along the bottom, to deter critters digging in/out and am adding bird netting over their run.
