Fencing

Free-ranging is great for hens, but foxes, hawks, raccoons, and dogs are quick to notice. The right fence keeps your flock in and predators out. We compare electric poultry netting, hardware cloth, chicken wire, and run covers on strength, ease of setup, and how well they stop both diggers and climbers.
