fence

Hiya! Excited to join the community. I live in an urban area and have 3 Easter eggers (no idea the breed tbh-got them from an animal shelter). Our yard is fully enclosed with a 6' privacy fence, but I'm still worried about them flying up and getting out of the yard. I'm open to clipping their...

We had a German Shepherd jump our pasture fence (chest level) and get 23 of our chickens on 12/16/23. We raised the fence up to 6+ foot but he came back this week and jumped over a spot we didn't know how to raise, our 10-12 foot swinging pasture gate. He got 2 out of the 3 of our last chickens...

The title is my question! My girls are BIG and started laying for the first time ever yesterday!! I'm so thrilled and proud of them. 😂It's almost September which means it's time to start a big garden conversion project. The basic gist is I have a 2000sqft fenced in side yard thanks to previous...

re Temporary Fencing Ideas for Bantam chickens? Hello Everyone, I need some suggestions for a temporary fence or netting, three foot high by forty to fifty foot long. 40ft - 50ft x 3ft . ~~ Ideally this would be made of a non-rigid material, something II could easily put up and take down...

I am currently free ranging my flock of 13 birds. The coop is in an area surrounded by wood fence posts, which I plan to turn into a goat pasture next year (about a fifth of an acre). I want to put up a smooth wire electric fence on those wood posts, mostly to keep the goats in and predators...

Expanding my duck pen The metal T posts are up and tomorrow cementing in the wooden posts for the gate (wish i could do wooden posts completely but due to roots of the large tree not possible) Question comes in fencing material: i have a nice big 6 foot tall x 50ft long roll of standard chicken...

Hello! We have a new coop after we lost our previous one in a tornado last year. There is no existing fencing in the area we placed it, so we’re looking at creating a new pasture. We’d like to install over 300 feet of fencing. This gets quite expensive, so I’m trying to find the most...

My dad, son and me built a new coop for our new chickens and we are going to put their exercise yard together this weekend. We are using dog run panels with chicken fence on the outside of each panel to prevent them from sneaking out and predators from getting in. With a 6 inch skirt to keep the...

I am OBSESSED with bantams. 😬 I need to have them in all colors, shapes & styles! I even had to get some babies that I didn't have a few weeks ago. lol My only problem right now is that I can't find anything that (is on the cheaper side) they can't slip out of to take them outside! My husband...

We have recently purchased a property in the country and we bring on 3 chickens sometimes. I have had the chicken fencing thing to a science in the city where we live. But at our new place I need suggestions please. We currently use hardware cloth top, bottom, everywhere, with an automatic...

Hi all, Raising meat birds for market, wanted to see if anyone knew of a fence that would be easy to set up. Biggest concern is the chickens slipping through small gaps. Current set up, any suggestions are welcome.

Looking to build a temporary duckling pen to keep them out of the pond when not being monitored; I have a ton of orange construction net fence what age will they not fit through??

I have posted a couple of photos of our coop set up below. Here’s the situation. We have had our hens (Three Wyandotte’s and three Turkeys) for about three weeks. Our chickens get free roam of our property during the day And I have quickly learned how disgustingly messy they are. I am trying to...

We’re rebuilding our run & I’m replacing the existing fence with hardware cloth. I see people recommending 1/2” mesh, but would like to go with a larger mesh size. I don’t want to have to do this twice, so any advice about using a bigger mesh is appreciated. I don’t have issues with small...

Hello, I am building a fence for my two pygmy goats, they are both 2 years old and love to run around and ram their horns into everything and everybody. Tractor Supply Co. provides a "goat fence" with 4x4in wire. Can the pygmy goats stick their heads through this? I know it can be dangerous if...

Hey All, springtime, aka planting time is just around the corner now, so I'm contemplating what to plant and how to keep my flock of 4 hens out. I read some reviews about the 2ft high (3" spacing) picket fencing from Lowe's being able to deter any of the girls from hopping in. The height is...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I'm hoping to reach people who have some insights on aggressive neighborhood dogs. First of all, I live in the sticks. It's all country out here--winding, rural roads, tons of livestock and dogs (usually fenced in, thankfully). The...

I need to fence my entire property. 1.8 acre. Doesn't sound like much, until you get an estimate for post & rail with wire. I was shocked at the cost! SHOCKED I tell ya!!! Wood used to be much less than vinyl. Not anymore! I did buy a double wrought iron gate for an awesome price, but I'm not...

I really dislike writing negative reviews....but, this company is making copycat type products that are far inferior (and causing injuries). The Grandpa's style feeder is cheaper and has holes in the "step on" plate that birds get their toes stuck in. The port hole feeder traps birds and...

Hello all! Our coop in inside a barn and it easily reaches 95 in there during the day, we bought an electric fence because outside in the shade is much cooler but I just learned they have to be about 12 weeks to not squeeze through the holes in the fence. I’m doing everything I can to cool them...
