Got it, thats our hope with the skirt. They aren't going to be able to dig all the way under it in one night, and by then, we will notice it, and be able to do something. We do have game cams actually. We need to set them up by the coop for sure. Thanks for the info!

We got the bottom of the coop welded together today! The frame of the coop is being made of steel square tubing, so we welded a square for the bottom, and a smaller square to go on the inside which will hold the makeshift shirt in, (it'll make more sense when I get pics tomorrow.) Now, we weld...

Awesome, thank you! We found some panels that are 1x3 inches I believe? But at least smaller then 8 inches. I was thinning abbot pinning the "skirt" as well, thats a good idea, I will for sure look into that. I'll see if we can rid up a solar hot wire system, that would be ideal. If not, we'll...

We do have a tractor. We plan on putting wheels on one end, and then hooking the other end to the tractor, we definitely put thought into that. 👍 I do have a sketch, a sloppy one, but I can get a pic of it in a moment. For now, this is the same idea-...

@21hens-incharge any ideas? I'm still worried about them standing on the wire, do you think the "skirt" idea will work?

Thanks for the help anyway though! Hopefully we will find something. Thinking abbot just skirting it, like doing the cage wire in a 2ft skirt around the inside of the run, so that the middle is completely open. The predator will have to dig all the way under the skirt to get to the birds. Do...

Its going to be big. 8x12 ft, and then 6ft tall, made of welded wire fence panels, and cage wire, then with the flimsier chicken wire at the top. We are going to weld it together, it wont be like a tiny little one the twill flip easy. Its really just a huge run, then with a box/coop that we will...

We will have a "box" that they will have bedding and roosts in it, purposing as the coop, but much more box like haha! It will be raised off the ground and I can lock them up in that at night for sure. I guess it doesn't' need to have a bottom if its locked up, but I do want ti to be bomb proof...

Hey guys! I am finally redoing add rebuilding my chicken setup, and doing a tractor! I am so done with my stationary setup, so am very excited to change it up. I just have one issue, I want it to be mobile, so can't burry fences. Usually we would wrap the bottom of the pen in wire, but since...
