crazyhen, thanks for the comments
Others have told me that would be a good ideal to use the smaller wire around the bottom.
I agree after trying to build the run critter proof as possible I would be pretty upset to lose just one!
When there roosting at night they are away from the sides and out of reach of vermin.
So I was wondering if having a corner of the building enclosed "like a safe place" would be good enough for day time?
I may try to get it done soon just so I dont have to worry about it but right now the $ is a little tight from building the run
I might just use cheaper chicken wire 2 foot high around the bottom for now, the bottom is 2 stacked 2x8's so it's already at least a foot high.
