not near you to be able to help but we bought them fence panels that builders use to fence off places they work very well about 6-7 feet high and 5-6 feet long only paid about £10 each

We have herris fencing round some our goats, but with them standing in those block things, there is a bit of a gap underneath, which would need sorting before using for poultry.

Have you tried somewhere like Chelford Machinery sale, surprising what you can find in the way of wood and sheds and stuff which can be adapted.

Yes, know what you mean about the prices ....I often find that what I want, so does everyone else, and the price ends up silly money!!

dont use the blocks heras fences come  with push  them into the ground and there will be no gap underneath at all   or even dig a trench and bury the things the they are stable and will be a depth under ground
