Once the bottom half of the coop is finished we'll fence it in and add the anti dig skirt so the entire section under the coop will be safe for the chickens to roam.
The whole bottom half has hardware cloth, with a 21 inch skirt all the way around. The bottom of the coop will also be fenced with the same. We used chicken wire on the top and over the roof.
I've just started building my coop and I always knew I wanted it elevated, mostly to add to the run space and that I hate trying to reach eggs under my in law's coop. I have just over 2.5 feet under the coop I'm building. I have to get a little help to get everything in place but it's started...
