I was thinking of adding some netting above my duck yard that is fenced around with a natural duck pond. I would like my ducks to only go out there unsupervised from time to time BUT it only takes a second for them to be attacked by a hawk. Would you recommend bird netting and if so what...

What product did you purchase? I order some netting but I think I am going to send it back. It was so flimsy and the thread was so so thin almost like thread I would use to do mend my clothes. I wondering if there are thicker threads out there? Better products?
