I finally found a way to keep my chickens from digging under the fence
For months, my Rhode Island Reds kept making holes under the run fence, no matter how many rocks I piled up. Last Tuesday, I bent the bottom foot of the wire fencing outward flat against the ground and staked it down with landscape staples. It only took about an hour and cost maybe $15 for the staples. They haven't made a single new hole since I did it. Has anyone else tried this method with a really determined flock?

Honestly, isn't that just a temporary fix? My friend did that and her heavy birds just bent the flat part back up over time. Tbh, you might need to bury hardware cloth a foot deep for a truly stubborn flock.

Remember when my buddy tried that, @clairer79? His geese just laughed and pushed right under it a week later.
