16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

[Cyprus]

DANG IT!
I had been stuck on my cell all day and I don't pay attention well to alerts on it.
I am sooo sorry.
I am very behind today.
Did you find something?

Not yet. We didn't buy anything today. We will later. My dad appears to have settled on Snow Netting.
He's kind of known for changing his mind often so I'm just trying to pull together a list of options.
If it helps I could take a picture of the land in question, my current run, and give y'all the number of sqft that I need. I have 18 hens that need one run.
Right now they free range 24/7 but I have to limit because they are starting to go into the road (It's a highway) and it's getting dangerous for everyone involved. When I lock them up, they just fly over because there's no roof.

Pictures always help.

So this is the area you need to cover?

Have you checked your local Craigslist for free stuff yet?

No, I have not.
I'm supposed to have Egg Man come over at some point to advice me in this. Guess I'll have to give him a buzz.

So this is the area you need to cover?

Yes and No. The run that you see, that space will still be there and need to be covered. However, the run needs to be expanded to at least 3 times the size. So about 3-5 times that space needs to be covered.

I would look for free wood to build a frame.

Here is how our run is set up for our stationary chicken house.

@Redhead Rae I like your run idea
For a while we thought about using dog kennel panels fo the sides. I think we may end up using that snow fence stuff for the cover.

I have never heard of snow cover stuff.
