Howdy! Can't help you on your fencing needs but I've bought wire from Lowes and Home Depot.

Chicken wire should be readily available at most hardware stores but if you want to really keep your birds safe, look for hardware cloth instead. Chicken wire will not protect your chickens from predators, they can tear right through it.

If you'd like to chat with others in your state, here's a link to the state threads:

Best of luck to you!

Poultry wire is made to keep chickens IN, it's useless against determined predators. 1/2" hardware cloth is the gold standard, costs more, lasts much longer, and if properly affixed to a framework, keeps most predators away. A top on your run will also protect from raptors.
