Thoughts on this fencing??

[cluckmecoop7]

Don't worry, my chickens have a completely predator proof setup. But I need your opinion with this fencing. I want to make an area in my woods for them to be able to forage and "free range" without leaving my property or straying too far off. Would this be a good opinion just to keep them in one place? If not, what would be?

I realize that this is NOT predator proof. Thanks!

Chicken wire contains them better and last longer. Neither one will keeps out predators as you already know.

I use temporary electric poultry netting for this exact purpose. Won't stop aerial predators, but it stops 4-legged ones.

I'd go with poultry wire also. That thin plastic netting gets tangled with every twig or weed, and tears very easy.
