We have chickens, as of 2 years ago.
We built the first pen from an old roll of chicken wire I bought back in 2000.
American made. Heavy gauge.
We built the 2nd pen with chicken wire bought from the farmer supply store last year.
Made in China.
Mr. Dixie built both pens the same design, including the bottom of the wire embedded in a concrete filled trench along all sides.
Pen # 2 had the bachelor rooster flock in it.
and has been cleaned out by raccoons, who have managed to pull the wire from the posts and bend it back, to get into the pen.
Pen #1 has shown signs of the same thing unsuccessfully attempted.
that is when we realized the significant difference in wire composition.
going out to the pens in a bit to inspect the raccoon traps we set up last night.
Pen #2 will now become an enclosed garden area.
I don't think the squirrels can bend the wire.
