How high would you need to put a fence to keep Ginger nut Ranger chickens in?
For a fence (for limited range chickens), standard hexagonal chicken wire (poultry netting) is good for the fence wall (and cheap). You can go with stiffer stuff but I don’t think it is necessary. My fence was about 4 feet high and the posts were green metal garden stakes. I connected the tops of the posts with 2×3 wooden beams, which looked a little better and allowed me to tie the hex fencing to the cross beams with cable ties. I used cable ties for almost all fence ties (very handy) and small drywall screws to attach the wooden beams to the garden stakes (the stakes have several holes in which a screw can be put). I used 48-inch high hex netting and had a bit of fence at the bottom left over which I could curl inward into the pen. After putting some rocks on this flat part of the netting, it was hard for animals to dig under. The chickens certainly can’t get through it. That was all fine, but the chickens can actually hop up onto and over a 4 foot fence, especially if they learn how
