Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

I use 1" x 2" welded wire. It is expensive enough! I have been told by people who live in the city that wild birds (mostly English sparrows) will go through the 1" x 2" wire and thieve food. So if keeping wild birds out is also a priority, I'd go with 1"x1". I am lucky that the English sparrows don't favor the more open desert areas like where I live and I haven't had a problem with birds going through my 1" x 2" wire.

I use welded wire on my outer runs but I do have some large dog kennel/chain link runs ones too. They are my favorite! The birds I see the most in our runs stealing food here are cardinals.

Nada! Of course all the neighbors were out shooting fireworks and guns half the night lol. Probably scared it off.

I can't make it to Lake City or Newnan this year. Are you planning on going to either?
