Hey everyone,
I came across a chicken tractor plan that recommended ½" x 1' wire for under the floor as predator protection, saying the poops can fall through more easily than the ½"x ½" and it's easier on their feet. Sounds good, but I've heard on this forum that weasels can potentially fit through ⅞" gap, a gap "the size of a quarter." If so, it seems to me that the ½" x 1" is not secure from weasels. What do you think?
Here's a picture of the wire, conveniently shown on a website with a quarter in the view:
