Run coverings

What would be a good covering for a pen about 15' by 20'? I think fence would be a little $$$ but if that's the best, that's what my girls will get!

I plan on clipping, but with the number of hawks I've seen around the past couple of years....I'm not trusting it.

I plan on using camo netting if I can find it cheap enough......I used bird netting on mine also.......

Hey! I like the camo idea!

I'll have to take a look. Where do you get the bird netting?

I originally used deer netting over my run (16' x 30'). Around the same time that hawks started appearing, the deer netting was developing tears and holes. I switched over to the green plastic chicken wire. It sags when loaded up with ice/snow so I put a few poles up with boards on top - like T's to help rain run off of it. So far it's been great. It was expensive but - no more rips or worries.

DH found good netting at a Sports Store. Check out your local stores!
