Ok for the 2x4 welded wire is it ok it's not 1/2" holes? I read raccoons can stick hands through and tear chickens to shreds. What about cats. LOTS of cats in my neighborhood. The welded wire is wayyyyy cheaper
I really wouldn't need to worry about dogs. I've never seen one off a leash and our yard is fenced.
What would you suggest then other then hardware cloth? I've read raccoons can rip apart chicken wire
If the ladies are going to be locked up every night in the coop do I still need hardware cloth and an apron in the ground? Can I get away with chicken wire and mesh netting at the top for birds?
Just wondering if this would be ok since I don't think coons will attack in the day?
