I've only had my 7 girls for a couple weeks now. The first week I lost one of my Barred Rocks to a Hawk I believe. So we quickly decided to cover the 25 ft x 50 ft run with netting. We finished up a couple days ago and now I can rest when the girls are out playing.
We used a 2" netting and found a good source and price I think. In case anyone needs a source, here's a link below. The 25x50 piece was around $48 plus $19 for shipping.

This was a great company to work with, they even called before shipping to make sure we knew what we needed. They have an outdoor aviary of 70 acres for pheasants using the 1" netting. Can't even imagine that.
I hope it's ok to give out a link. Just hate for anyone else to lose their feathered friends like I did.
