Hi all, So I've been doing a lot of reasearch about what kind of wire to use on my run and coop and I have come to the conclusion that almost everyone uses hardware cloth which is what I was going to originally use. Well after doing some price checking online as well as in store today, it doesn't look like it's financially feasible to do my entire run in hardware cloth. So what I thought about doing was going around the three sides of my coop with hardware cloth 2 feet underground and the 2 feet above ground so my chickens can run underneath the coop (run is attached). Then have something like deer fencing or something that's cheaper for the run itself. The run is going to be 20' x10', then 6' tall. So my question is will a different kind of fencing be ok for the run since they will be in the coop at night away from predators or is that still a bad idea?
