I've been told that some animals can bite through chicken wire and
also that if the mesh is too big then chickens can stick their heads
through it to look at a fox who then bites it off!  Don't know how
likely this all is.

The idea of a chicken looking through mesh at a fox is, I'd say, so unlikely
as to be laughable. If they see a fox or unfamiliar dog from a long way
they'll try to get away.

I doubt that a fox could bite through chicken wire too, they never have
here.

Mary
