Benefits Of A Secure And Defined Run
If your garden is completely fenced off and secure then you may be considering giving your chickens free roam of the garden. Whilst your chickens are sure to enjoy this freedom there are some key benefits to dedicating a fenced off portion of your garden to your chickens.
To Protects Your Chickens From Poisonous Plants
Your average garden is likely to contain at least a few varieties of plants that are poisonous to chickens. For a list of plants that are poisonous to chickens click here.

To Protects Your Chickens From Predators
Some chicken runs such as our Eglu Runs and our Walk In Chicken Runs are designed to prevent predators such as Foxes or Badgers being able to tunnel underneath them or climb into them. These runs have a highly durable wire mesh skirting and are totally covered.

To Protects Your Garden
Chickens who are allowed to roam free throughout your garden will cause significant damage over time. They will dig up lawns and flower beds, and eat any plants that they like the taste of.

A Peace Of Mind
Having your chickens in a secure run gives you real peace of mind. Even the most vigilant among us may not close a gate properly once in a while and an escaped chicken can be a real pain to track down.

We have a rat problem coming from next door and they have now tunnelled under the walk in run and are taking the chicken feed. Is there a way of preventing them burrowing such as putting chicken wire down?

Please could you tell me if your chicken fencing rolls are fox resistant? If not, how could I make them fox resistant? Thanks.

The Chicken fencing is not at all Fox proof - I lost 2 hens through this fencing. I luckily was home in time to scare off the fox before it had all of my hens. The fox never broke through the fencing as such, but he chewed a hole big enough to get his head in and behead my poor dears. I no longer use this fencing at all when I am not around. I advise never using this netting when not under direct supervision.

Could you please tell me, how fox proof is the chicken fencing? If I bought some, it would be in a field near their coop and far from the house, out of view. I don't want to have electric fencing. Thanks!
