Is orange buntin suitable?

[richje100]

I have got hold of a large roll of the orange butin used by workmen. heres a pic.

Is this suitable to make a large pen for my growing flock? i also want the hens to run about to keep the gras/weeds down on my vegetable plot ready for the next growing season.
would i need to clip their flight feathers?

You will need to clip if you don't want them to fly out.

I would be more concerned about preditors. That will not stop most. A small dog can get thru that quickly, others quicker.

i suppose i could put another layer above the bottom so it will be twice as high & have it tort so it doesnt move with wind.

If you're looking at it only to keep your chickens in, maybe, if your chickens aren't flyers.

It won't do a thing to deter predators, though. Dogs, racoons, weasels, rats, fox, hawks, etc.
