In my experience, chicken wire is not rigid enough. At Home Depot there are other rolls of screening that are tougher right next to the chicken wire. If I were doing my tail over again, I would get the more rigid mesh. Rounding and re-straightening if unsatisfied with shape can be done easily with simple tools and it will maintain shape while stretching cloth/glass over it better.
