Is this the correct HWC I should be getting? It is on sale for $70

Should be fine if you want the vinyl coated version.

Yes! Galvanized 19 gauge no bigger than a half inch is what you're looking for. Plus it's black which is awesome.

What would be the math to figure out how much HC I would need for a 16ft by 36ft by 8ft chicken (L x w x H)?

If each roll of hardware cloth is 4 ft high, and you need all 4 sides, then you would double the length and width. 16+16=32 and 36+36=72. Then add 32+72=104. Then you would double that number so that you can get to 8 ft high. So you need 208 ft of 4 foot high HC. That does not count the top or skirting or any kind of bottom.
