chicken wire

Hi, so I am building a temporary movable chicken run that will marry up to the movable coop (very well built and predator proof). This is what I have so far. I have 1 side and some to find some scrap hardware cloth to cover with and add some side support boards. It’s light weight (1x2) and...

You know when you buy a big roll of hardware cloth, how it comes wrapped in a lot of thin, flexible, rust-free wire? It's very strong but very thin, can be bent and manipulated by hand without tools. I want to buy just that wire for a coop project, but I'm having trouble finding anything like it...

I am getting ready to move my chicks outside and am looking for ways to expand their enclosure. I have a 8x8 coop and a 4x8 run leftover from when I last had chickens. I am thinking of adding a chicken tunnel to this, made from flex tube and chicken wire. I am looking into different options for...

I came home from work to this today Basically she somehow got stuck under the chicken wire and now all he feathers under her wing are completely gone! The skin looks raw and red and I feel so bad for her. Is there anything I can do?! I can try to get a better picture of her now that she’s not...

I live in Iceland and am making my chicken coop. I've got three chicks that will need a coop in about four weeks. Now I'm wondering, should I get chicken wire or hardware cloth? Now I know most of you will say hardware cloth because it's more predator proof but think about this ; There are no...
