I looked on CL and I can not believe how many adds for cheap and free chain link fencing is. However, not much in the hunter green color. I'll keep looking. Most people have taken it down by the looks of the ads.
Thanks, I'll look into CL. My girls have so much room, I highly doubt they'd jump the fence. We blocked off an area in the woods and they have not yet once hopped the fence. If they ever do in the future, it's an easy fix. I'd clip one side of their flight feathers. They don't even go past...
We are going with a 4ft fence. We are not going to install all of it at once though. My husband is really handy. I'm sure he'll install most of it himself.
We have our woods blocked off with chicken wire, my hens do not go past it all all.
We haven't really looked at what exactly we are going to get or the exact price. I want hunter green. I do know it's not cheap and there are a lot of extras to it. Plus, I want my husband to plant something around the inside border in the front and side yard. I have no idea what, but it will...
I'd do it, but my husband will not.:p. He is very picky how everything looks. He about had a cow when I put a tarp for shading the chicken run. He quickly ordered a steel roof to match our house.lol This is what I did. He didn't want the neighbors to look at the tarp, so he made it much nicer...
The chicken wire is temporary. The chain link in the far back woods is too keep our dogs in and strays out, not for the chickens. The chickens will not go back that far. Our dogs protect our property and house, they will attack any dog that steps foot on our property. I do not want them...
I'll look into it, but the board would have to be replaced with something that will last. I'll see what hubby likes better.
The chain link is 49.00 for 50ft. With posts and gate, it's much cheaper. I'm pretty sure hubby will do the labor. Plus it's sturdier. The no climb wire is welded...
For several reasons, including keeping our hens from stepping on the neighbors property(right now I supervise their free time) and keeping our dogs in our property. Our dogs protect our property and house, so this fence is a must! My neighbors on both sides do not like my chickens.
We are...
