I use that plastic black fencing, too! I use it for brooders though. I will probably put it over the top of new pens I am about to start on for the d'Uccles and Sizzles.

I have a LGD so dog kennels are great to use. I have 4 that I am using. One was torn up pretty bad in a storm but I have it somewhat repaired and one lone roo is using it now.
As you can see it did not survive the wind storm but all the chickens inside were fine. Never found the eggs they were incubating though.

This was it in the winter.

The price for this is so reasonable! I bought several rolls because my friend said it had gone up to $16 at one time and is now back down to $11. I prefer the cheaper stuff.
This is what I use the plastic fencing on. (Sorry to post of a photo that is not related to dog kennels.)

that plastic stuff doesn't keep predators out does it?

Absolutely not. That is why you see my brooder inside a coop. It is tough stuff but a raccoon could gnaw through it.

I laughed so dang hard when I saw your quote- I dont have a short attention span. I just...oh look, a chicken.
I LOVE it!
Everyone here is so fun!

That is some handy looking stuff! perhaps it would make a 'playpen' for the ducklings there to small/young to free range with the rest of flock..
