What gauge? Chicken wire comes from gauges that I can tear with only
gloved hands up to stuff that I need wire-cutters for.

A mistake that people may be making is to use the very lightweight
stuff designs to keep part-grown chicks in as a fox barrier. I can
easily see that won't work.

And are you sure that it is foxes and not badgers making the initial
entry? Badgers like eggs, after all :-)
