I don't have a very good picture of the whole pen because, well, it's a whole pen ya know? I usually take closeups of my chickens instead. It's the whole back 25' of my lawn which is 40' across. In the second picture it meets with the rabbit hutch where the blue tarps are hanging. The first picture is old, I've since added a lot of structures for hiding, etc.
The fence has a 6' solid wood privacy fence around the outside of the whole lawn, that is 3 of the walls. The fourth wall "opens" into the rest of the lawn. It's made of a tree, some T posts, the coop, a rabbit hutch, all with a sturdyish 1/2" plastic deer netting strung between. Sometimes the netting gets torn or a zip tie pops etc and the chickens may slip into the lawn that way, and it is extra hard to keep the fence functional over the winter. Usually they have free run of the lawn in the winter because the fencing collapses from snow weight. Flyovers are rare and when we get them I clip wings. The deer netting is 4'-5' tall and buried 1' into the ground to prevent digouts. The wood fence has rocks and logs along the bottom to prevent digging out.
The bottom of the pen is covered with 1' of wood chips to encourage digging and dusting. I get them for free from a tree company.
