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

I wondered that too.

It would be a very hungry fox which would bite through our chicken wire, so
hungry it probably wouldn't have the strength. Not that I've ever known a
fox eat a chicken, here they've only killed them :-(


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

They will eat chickens too.
