That depends on the breed of chicken. Most are big enough that 1 inch hex chicken wire - poultry mesh- will hold them. But some of the smaller bantams like Seramas or d'uccles will walk right through without even slowing down. Though I don't normally raise bantams, my pens are all 1/2 inch hardware mesh along the bottoms so that guinea keets and bantam chicks can't get out and hurt themselves.

What is Michelle's opportunity cost of producing potatoes?
Suppose that two people, Michelle and James each live alone in an isolated region. They each have the same resources available, and they grow potatoes and raise chickens. If Michelle devotes all her resources to growing potatoes, she can raise 200 pounds of potatoes per year. If she devotes all her resources to raising chickens, she can raise 50 chickens per year. (If she apportions some resources to each, then she can produce any linear combination of chickens and potatoes that lies between those extreme points. If James devotes all his resources to growing potatoes, he can raise 80 pounds of potatoes per year. If he devotes all his resources to raising chickens, he can raise 40 chickens per year. (If he apportions some resources to each, then he can produce any linear combination of chickens and potatoes that lies between those extreme points.)

The answer to this question totally depends on the type of chicken you are concerned about. The bantam chickens may weigh less than a pound at 7 weeks. Then there are the Giants, the egg layers, the dual purpose and the broilers. A commercial broiler will weight a good 4 pounds or so at 7 weeks of age.
