lol, I certainly understand the husband issue. I worked on mine for over a year to convince him we "needed" chickens. Building the coop wasn't free and he did complain about how much money we spent on them at first. Now he loves the eggs and likes watching them outside. He wasn't thrilled one lived in the house with us for those 10 days, but it worked out. When our 10 year old daughter won Grand Champion at the county fair with them, it was all worth it to him!
Check out eBay and see if you can find a used fence unit. You can lay the wire yourself. We didn't bury it, it just lays on top of the ground. Has for years and we have only had one incident with lightening hitting it. Before we moved the fence, I chained up our dog while the chickens were out, poor thing!
Now I'm working on him trying to convince him we "need" goats...
Good Luck!
