Hey I am wondering 2 inch poultry wire would not be too large for a chicken yard/pen would it?

I use the 2x4" welded wire and it works great! My pit bull jumped at the fence once (because I accidentally threw her ball at it) and it barely bent. It's really strong. I get a 6 foot tall 100 foot long roll at Tractor Supply store for about $100-$110. I use regular chicken wire for the roofing. My parents have had skunks get in through their chicken mesh wire...not sure how, but it's happened.I'd buy 2x2 or even 2x4 welded wire for my henyard fence. Chicken wire (poultry netting) as Chicken995 pointed out is about worthless against any decent sized determined predator which DOGS most certainly are. In suburban areas they are likely to be the worst day time predator.
Unless you have chicks or very small bantams cats will not typically bother chickens.
