Useful tip

[MaryN]

I am always trying to update the safety for my chicken flock. Well, I have a useful tip for anyone who is interested. We bought a number of those metal safety panels - you know, lightweight metal mesh panels used by builders to fence off areas - as we wanted to give the chooks a bit of grass. They have turned out to be a real boon. We use them upside down so there is no gap at the bottom. They can be joined together with cable ties and moved easily in various positions. I add a bit if extra security by shoving in metal ties to make sure no predator can dig in. The cats can't get over because the panels are vertical and there is no purchase for their feet. Bought on eBay and collected in our trailer. Really good stuff,
