I've got a nice recycling center near me, too, and what a gold mine that is :) Whatever it takes the keep the chickies safe and happy! Sounds like quite the project! Good luck with the spring weather; ours has been (and continues to be) a challenge. Hope you have better luck! And here's to the...

Wow, 14x40 is big! Totally get trying to downsize :) Are you thinking chicken wire for a roof or side fence? The only reason I ask is we we have a lot of raccoons here. I was told raccoons can tear through chicken wire pretty easily. Even if they don't tear through it I've been told they can...

It's going to depend on the installation. If it's just used as a roof, it's unlikely a bird will find a way to get its head in it at all. They see it from below so they're not inclined to fly up into it. And from outside they see it, but not as something they can land on. So they avoid it. The...

I definitely agree that you don't want this netting where a chicken might contact it! Thank you for that caution! But aviary netting is exactly what I use as a roof over the chicken garden; indeed it's very cost effective and it's a perfectly adequate solution for a roof (i.e. where chickens...
