Hey all,
I'm getting my whole garden and this tree area fenced this week for my chickens. The fencing will be 6ft tall, and the bottom starts out smaller (holes) than the top.
My questions:
1) Will chickens still be able to get over that? I have ameracaunas, some rocks, wyandottes, a silkie and a polish top hatter. The area will be oh, 3-4000 square feet, probably more. So i'm assuming that they won't get bored in their large area and try to venture to the 'greener' side!
2) Should I put chicken wire along the bottom to keep any skunks, coons, etc out? The bottom squares in the fencing are small and then get bigger the higher up it gets. Sort of similar to the picture attached.
Thanks!
