I've been using the plastic poultry netting and those green plastic coated metal garden stakes to make temporary runs for my ladies. I love it! So easy to move around. I only let them in it when I'm out with them though as ground predators would be under or over it in a heartbeat. I cover the top with bird netting (like you put over berries) just so my hens don't fly over the fence. It keeps them put.
