I live in the illinois country side with coyotes, hawks, coon, and foxes and havn't lost a chicken to a predator yet.<br /> <br /> the fence does an excellent job keeping the birds confined. while a bird occasionallly hops the top wire, it always finds its way back in because it doesn't want to stray from the flock.<br /> <br /> the cost is a fraction of what traditional fencing would have been.
