Hello! We’re new to Chicken Farming and started out with 26 chicks and lost one before we got them in their new coop. Hopefully all 25 are hens, but we’re suspecting 2 roosters in the bunch. We have a variety of birds. Red sex link, ISA Browns, Cookoo Morans, Buff Orphingtons, and Easter Egger. Still working on run which will be 16x20. I have the hardware cloth. What’s the best way to attach the cloth? It will be 7ft high on one side sloping to 6ft high on backside. Have already set posts. Suggestions appreciated!

Welcome to BYC!
I use zip ties to attach my hardware cloth to my cages.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Use either screws with fender washers or 3/4" poultry staples. On the outside.

You might stop by our Coop and Run Construction forums for more help... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/coop-run-design-construction-maintenance.9/ Always use metal fasteners to keep hardware cloth attached.
