Hen and ducks by a fence, at Forsinard platform, Sutherland, Scotland, U. K.

Hen and ducks by a fence, at Forsinard platform, Sutherland, Scotland, U. K. A fence to keep chickens in has to be 6 foot or 1.8 metres high. I recommend the same to keep bantams inside the yard so they can free-range. Foxes are excellent diggers, so the wire netting should be either buried at least 450 mm underground or attached to a concrete or wooden floor (in the case of a small pen). Alternatively, an apron of netting angled outwards across the ground for 300—600 mm at the base of the fence is also effective.
