elpolloloco! Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 after becoming completely fed up of our chickens escaping when we let them out to free range in an area seperated by the omlet netting, simply by flying over it, we have decided to make a larger walk in run after looking at the run inspiration thread, can anyone advise the best place to buy fox proof mesh for the sides???

joybelle Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 My OH is making me a walk in run.I`ve been looking at Hills of Devon web site but I dont know whether to get Aviary mesh or the netting. Is one better than the other. Price wise the mesh is dearer than the netting. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can bite through that hexagonal mesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 don't forget too that you can clip the feathers one one wing and that'll stop them flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Could they be launching themselves off the top of the cube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpolloloco! Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 we clipped their wings after they started to jump over, and this didnt help, they still flew over. to start with they jumped straight over the netting onto the run, and then onto the floor, but now they just simply fly over the netting at any point thanks for your advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
