1" mesh for young stock but for full grown birds you can get away with 2".
Haven't a clue about rabbits except thay are supposed to breed like ...........
I use one-inch for rabbits too or they tend to get there teeth in there and chew it up (20mm to be precise) Don't forget to put some underneath at least around the perimeter cos' they can burrow ot in 10 mins - and they do - soon as your back is turned.
I think the 50mm x 100mm stuff s fine for most poultry (try Gamme vert if in France) as they are unlikely to be out in the run if they are small enough to escape he 50mm
Thanks for the offer, - might take you up on that later on.
This time we are coming over by van, so I'm stocking up on a few bits, - like the wiremesh. We've got the room in the van and its probably cheaper here. Do you know roughly the price for 30m 1" mesh in France?
We have started to use plastic deer fencing for our chicken runs. I know it is plastic and therefore bad , but it is so much easier to work with than chicken wire fencing. It also seems to be keeping its shape better.
Its lighter so easier to transport. There is loads of it on Ebay under deer fencing.
