Not sure how to integrate chicks

[BigBlueHen53]

Chicken wire is a lot cheaper because it's flimsy. The openings are larger too, so maybe if you did two layers of it, with some offset so the openings are smaller? Just an idea.

Being flimsy is chicken wire's biggest drawback. It is designed only to confine chickens, not to protect them. Many predators such as dogs, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, etc, can tear through it with little effort. If it is inside your run I suppose it will do what you want it to do, i.e., keep groups of chickens separate from each other.

Oh, very right you are! I meant just to make an internal enclosure, not meaning it to be predator proof. That's what I'll be using it for.

Good point @BigBlueHen53!
