type of mesh fencing made from thin, flexible wire twisted together in a hexagonal pattern, commonly used to enclose chicken coops or small animal enclosures
Chicken wire is a type of thin, flexible wire mesh with hexagonal openings, often used for enclosing chickens or other small animals. It is lightweight, easy to work with, and usually made from coated steel to resist rusting. Chicken wire is commonly used for fencing, gardening, or creating protective barriers around gardens and chicken coops. While it is not strong enough to keep out larger animals, it is effective at containing smaller creatures and preventing them from escaping.
