Dear James: We decided to raise chickens and need to fence our backyard. Is a chain-link fence a good choice, and what are the various parts we will need to install it? —Rhonda F.
Dear Rhonda: Chain-link fencing is a versatile choice for your backyard. It makes an effective enclosure for any type of pet, including chickens. Keep in mind that chickens can be attacked by hawks. If the chickens are out there without you, make sure their run is covered with something protective.
