Unwrapping a roll of chicken wire
These 5 foot high rolls of
chicken wire are my new favorite form of poultry corralling.
Our local independently owned
hardware store special ordered them for us. The highest chicken wire I
was able to find at Lowe's was only 3 feet long and cost almost as much
as the bigger roll.
If you look closely you can
see 2 separate strands of slightly thinner wire holding the roll
together. What I've found works best is to cut that thinner wire
somewhere around the middle and start pulling. Do this again for the
other thin wire and you're ready to start fencing in your flock.
