Chicken wire, or poultry netting, is a mesh of wire, generally used for making fences. It is made of thin, flexible galvanized wire, with hexagonal gaps. Available in 1 inch (about 2.5 cm) diameter, 2 inch (about 5 cm) and 1/2 inch (about 1.3 cm), chicken wire is available in various wire gauges usually 19 gauge (about 1 mm wire) to 22 gauge (about 0.7 mm wire) Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (600x611, 417 KB) [1] Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1. ...

Psychologist Harry Harlow used chicken wire to create "surrogate mothers" for rhesus monkeys. In experiments, the wire "mothers" tended to inspire less affection than cloth "mothers" despite being equipped with "nipples" supplying milk.

For many years, chicken wire was thought to have been the best source for containing flocks of chickens (hence the name, chicken wire), but new research and technologies have provided for much stronger, and durable means of enclosure, such as welded wire. Chicken wire, having such a small gauge, is found to be too flimsy. While it keeps the average chicken from escaping, it shows to be a bad source for keeping out predators, such as opposum, skunk, and commonly dogs as well.
It is also often used in hutches and runs for rabbits/guinea-pigs, but this can be unsafe as it does not effectively protect against predators, can rust or break easily which can leave sharp edges, and can also stretch, potentially strangling small animals.
