Hello, there!
I am planning to start a small vegetable garden in my backyard, but the yard is home to free-range chickens. According to some sources, chickens will destroy all the plants in their path. A fence around the garden patch would be handy to keep the chickens away, but I want a simple, easy-to-make fence because I'm an amateur at carpentry. We ha e lots of spare wood, wires and tools. Perhaps a simple fence of chicken wire/hardware cloth supported by some wooden poles would be enough? Do you have suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
