Howdy, I hope this is the correct forum. I searched and only found dead old threads from 2014.
We have 9 laying hens, 1 old maid, and 1 lazy rooster. It's time to plan our veggie garden. In Texas, if you wait too late, you get sun-dried dead veggies.
I've never seen our chickens fly higher than about 3' - when they are flustered. Do you reckon 4' is high enough for a light plastic fence, to keep them from going in to eat our veggies? TractorSupply has this https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...y-fence-1-3-4-in-mesh-bf48100175?cm_vc=-10005
Or should I go up 6' with a light fence? Maybe I'd need to electrify it? I don't see any 6' safety fence for sale yet. Amazon only goes up to 4' for electric fence. https://tinyurl.com/yb7edtda Does anybody have a 6' fence? Maybe that would be overkill....
Thank you!
