Now what?! Wild birds stuck in netting

[tlcmurphy]

lol just put collars on them and think of them as disgusting pets

I was going to tell our neighbor we got a bunch of chihuahuas but decided to bribe him with eggs instead

It’s dark atm but this is what I used just nylon bird netting. The squares are 1x1 in.

Question, is this netting durable? I am in the process of closing in an acre of land for my chickens and I am trying to find something to spread over it to protect them.

Yes! Holy moly is it durable! It’s been in rain storms, and hail. I tried cutting it with kitchen shears..nope. There’s been no sagging. I like a lot..if the cardinals would stay out of it.

Isn’t it amazing what an awesome bribe fresh eggs are? I gave my elderly neighbor some eggs, just because he’s a sweetheart. And next I knew he was giving me veggies from is garden!

That's good to hear! Could you send me a link to the netting you got? There are so many nettings that look so much alike! I want to make sure I get something durable for my chickens!

Have you had any big animals clawing at the netting? Our biggest problem around here is feral cats and I ak worried about them climbing the fencing om the side and getting to the netting.

Let me know if that link doesn’t work, and I’ll DM you. The Amazon app hates me.

I highly doubt it. I can’t cut it with shears or a knife. And I imagine if a larger animal were to claw at it, it would get tangled up (like those birds). I really do like it. It’s some heavy duty stuff.
