We're working on fencing 5 acres, piece by piece for the same reasons. I can't remember the details, but I also thought chain link was more expensive. Sometimes the gauge of the wire at Home Depot is smaller. Did you factor in all the pieces, top rail, caps, etc. I know there is a ton of parts. We went with the Redbrand horse fence-small holes work good for chickens. Fairly straight forward to install yourself, but alot of work of course.
