Types of Chicken Fences We Install
DFL Fencing offers a variety of chicken fencing options to choose from, depending on the size and type of your chicken coop:
Poultry Wire Fence
Poultry wire fence, also known as chicken wire, is a cost-effective option for smaller chicken coops or backyard chickens. It is made from thin, flexible wires woven to create a mesh structure. Poultry fencing protects against predators and keeps chickens within their designated area.
Heavy Duty Roof Netting
Heavy-duty roof netting is more durable and long-lasting for larger chicken coops or poultry farms. This type of fencing is made from thicker wires. It has a stronger mesh structure, providing enhanced protection against predators and ensuring the safety of your chickens. It also acts as a barrier against birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, which can threaten your flock.
Welded Wire
The welded chicken fence is made from steel wires, creating a strong and sturdy barrier around your chicken coop. It consists of rigid panels of steel wires welded together, making it more difficult for predators to break through. This type of cattle gate fence also provides better visibility for monitoring your chickens. It is ideal for larger chicken coops or commercial poultry farms.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link fences are another popular option for chicken coops, as they provide both security and visibility. These fences are made from interlocking metal links that create a strong and durable barrier. They also allow for better air circulation and natural light within the coop, promoting a healthier environment for your chickens.

FAQs
What is the best type of chicken fence for backyard chickens?
If you have a small backyard chicken coop, poultry wire fence or heavy-duty roof netting would be sufficient for keeping your chickens safe and contained within their designated area.
Can chain link fences be used for larger poultry farms?
Chain link fences are suitable for larger poultry farms as they provide security and visibility. They also allow for better air circulation and natural light within the coop, creating a healthier environment for your chickens.
Is it possible for chickens to fly over a six-foot fence?
Yes, some chicken breeds can fly over a six-foot fence. To prevent this, you can add an overhead net or roof to your chicken fence or clip the feathers of their wings. It’s important also to consider the size and type of mesh used in the fencing, as smaller gaps can allow chickens to squeeze through and escape.
