Devastated! Warning Graphical

Looks like that's about right if the curvature, measuring from the bottom of one side to the bottom of the other is 16', but I just don't know the answer to that. You could buy four or five rolls and see how far it takes you, then you'll have a good idea how much more you need. I'm sure of one thing though: chicken wire is not strong enough to keep determined predators out; it's really only good for keeping chickens IN.

A couple other things:
a) Consider burying about 10"-14" of the mesh downward into the ground all the way around the edge of your run/coop to keep these same predators from digging UNDER the edge.
b) Have a good set of snips to cut the cloth; you'll need them. Once cut, wire tie mesh to your hog panels, and tie the edges where they meet underground at the corners...

Interestingly, we almost used hog panels for a trellis system for growing cucumbers in raised beds, but never did it - that's how I'm somewhat familiar with the panels.
 
Is this correct or is my phone not displaying price with item correct? $12? Per 25' x 3' roll?

My son and I have been raising Red Star, Delaware and Barred Rock chickens a long with Pekin, Rouen, Runner and Muscovy ducks. I'm disabled so the eggs help the grocery bill and selling the extra eggs pays their food, treats and on utilities. My son went out to feed and this is what he saw.View attachment 2801622
This is what our Fox attacks looked like. They get to the birds and just frenzy kill everything for no reason.

I know exactly what you’re going through, losing them is the worst. I’m sorry for your and your sons loss. :hugs
 
I'll try to come up with some money as I want to build 3 more for now then add to it as I can clear the property. Yes, going to build green houses the same way.
Hardware cloth keeps predators out when installed properly and adding a couple strands of electric fence around the property keeps out the 2 legged ones as well.
Try and find out who owns the bird dog and hold them responsible for damages.
