hello all. i am new her. i have raised chickens in the past but its been sometime and never at the home we have now. anyhow i have built a new coop and a run that is attached and on a slope bank. we live rural and right along the river. i know many use the 1/2" hardware cloth for their enclosures or runs but i have been considering the 2x4 fencing i seenin some of the posts here for rigidity and ease of mounting. i am concerned with predators to include hawks, bald eagles, coon, coyotes, red fox, and cats. my hens will be locked in at night but i wanted to know thoughts from experienced folks on if that fence size is penetrable for a coon or possum. we could and have had mink that could concern me as well from the river.
any thoughts would be appreciated! i will share picks of my coop and run shortly.
