Making a fence taller
We've got a hen flying over a
section of fence to hide her eggs again.
Arghhh.
Our solution was to extend
that fence with some 5 foot tall chicken wire. We used nylon rope to
connect it to the bottom fence and got it up in well under an hour.

Great to see a pic of Mark almost smiling! (He usually looks so serious/sad . . .)
No need to post this online!
Hey! That looks great, and I am interested because I have the same need: to raise my chicken-yard fence.
How is the taller fence supported in the middle?
I have been looking at the whizbang plucker guy's t-post extender gadgets that he uses for putting up bean trellis'.
We currently have a 4-ft fence around the so-called chicken yard that is absolutely no barrier for chickens or turkeys.
