Pheasant pen
at our farm we are raising about 20 pheasants. we are thinking about making a release pen. chicken wire is too short and critters can get in that way. so we are using some geofabric because it doesn't rot in the elements. it is also about 5 feet tall instead of 3 that the chicken wire is. the pen is going to be open topped so when we want to release the birds inside, they can either fly out on their own or we can chase them out ourselves. btw geofabric in non degradable plastic fence used to hold retaining walls in place. it is very strong and the only way to break it is to cut it with a knife. the holes in geofabric are about 1.5 by 1.5 holes in diamonds. the pen is going to be about 50 feet by 20 feet. we are going to just let it up in native grasses. we are going to throw chicken scratch in at night so they are foraging for their food. if anybody has comments please tell me.
