Metal lath as alternative to hardware cloth?

[R_Chickens]

BTW, some of this stuff has sharp edges. It is directional. Drag your hand across it in several directions. In one direction it will be rough.

When using the lath for stone on walls, you have to be sure to keep the rough side facing upwards or your scratch coat of cement may not grip.

Make sure it isn't too sharp for the chickens.
