I just put up an extra large dog run kennel and attached it to my chicken coop. I want to divide the run in half and have separate entrances from the coop so I can separate my blue/black/splash silkies from my buff silkies. I also need the divider to either have a door or be able to step over it myself and yet keep the silkies from jumping over it. What material should I use to make this outside divider?
 
You could simply get 1x2 welded wire (or 1/2x1 or 1x1), or build a wooden frame and cover with chicken wire. You could use clicken wire alone, but it's pretty flimsy. Most silkies won't hop a 30" height, but some will. I used to have a silkie roo who regularly roosted on a loose 4' tall fence wire.
 
Lowes sells a plastic poultry fence that's 36" tall. That might work and you wouldn't cut yourself up installing it either.
