If you set up a single electrified wire/tape about 4-6" above ground on the inside of the chain link pen it should give them a zap when they get close enough to the fence to start digging. There are insulators that hold the wire/tap a few inches out from the fence.

By installing a conductor (IntelliTwine would work well) on Chainlink offset insulators (part #391500) keeping 4"-6" off of ground. The energizer size will depend on how much length and how much grass will grow in and contact fence.

Thanks
