We did that too with the hens pen, put wire around the edge under ground. The place I am really worried about now is where the pen connects to the coop at the pop door.

Oh Bama1! I hate to tell you this, but a dog or coon can tear through chicken wire. Unfortunately, chicken wire is for keeping chickens in, not keeping predators out. It looks like you did a great job building it, though.

I'm just going to have to get some better wire then and put over the chicken wire!

I found a great deal on hardware cloth at www.wayfair.com. It was half the price of local stores, and available in wider widths.

I got 50 feet of 1/2" 48inch wide hardware cloth on Amazon with free shipping for $57.. best deal I've found!

That is a great price!

My 3 month old roo got killed today. Looks like a dog broke in his little roo pen. It was not as sturdy as the hens pen. He's my avatar. Now I only have 4 hens. I have hatching eggs coming soon though.

Sorry about your loss bama

That's a better price than I found. That's great!

Yeah! I wish I could have found it so cheap when we were building! Good research!

I traded in an old video game for $20 to boot! Haha, gotta love $37 hardware cloth.. with free shipping.

I LOVE Amazon -- I bought my hardware cloth off there too.
