Hi all. I joined this site in 2012 but at that time the town we live in didn't allow chickens. That zoning ordinance was changed this year and my wife and I are planning on purchasing six Golden Comets in the spring. I bought a prefab coop which I have assembled and have set fence posts for an 8'x11' run. I was going to enclose it today but as I stood at Home Depot I found myself uncertain about the wire to use. I have read hardware cloth is the best and others say not true. I was looking at 14 gauge galvanized welded wire with 2"x4" openings and was concerned about the size of the rectangular openings. This run will be for day time use only and will have a top for hawk protection. I ended up coming home with nothing and just feeling confused and frustrated. I have read differing thoughts on this site but none that really address my situation. Any thoughts? I would like to finish the run up before the snow hits......
