Inexpensive bird netting, check it out!

Good to keep small birds out, but don't trust it around chickens. I have that stuff and it is useful for light duty chores, but not for anything really stout... or determined.

And I wonder about that use if there was a determined hawk, 'possum or dog nearby.
 
That is the netting I use. Same size and weight. It is wildlife netting. You can get it at Lowes hardware. A 7'x100' roll is just over $12.

Do you mean Lowe's Home Improvement? If so, good to know, great price! Our recent snow did a number on the bird netting on top of our run and we'll need to replace it soon. I got the stuff we have now on clearance at TSC, normally $25/bag, they had it at $5/bag! It did great, until the blasted snow got it.

I have a Hawk problem here, this netting has kept them out for a year now. As far as the Dog situation, unless a dog can jump 8 ft in the air I guess I'm good!
 
I bought a plastic mesh bird netting for my small pen last spring. It is used for fruit trees... Worked great all summer and fall. I moved the chickens out of there for the winter.
A few weeks ago a hawk was setting in tree near this enclosure. It swooped down and tore right thru it and got a small snow bird that was on the ground looking for food! Yep he got the bird and tore a hole right thru the netting!
Glad I did not have any chickens in there! I am not going to use that type of netting again.
 
I ordered aviary netting off of e-bay, a 15x20 net for $22.00 including shipping!

It's 2x2 squares, ONLY to keep my EE's from flying out of the run
