I'm so sorry. We're happy to have you here. Wishing you all the best with your two chicks. Welcome to BYC

Are you replacing all the chicken wire with 1/2" hardware cloth?

No, just the 1” and wood strips screwed over the access points to make them smaller than what a coyote can get through.

Plastic windows are for play houses - not to protect live chickens.

Don’t be rude! That’s why I had them covered with chicken wire screwed over the plastic windows.

Do you have weasels in your area? Raccoons? Either of them can get in or reach through 1" cloth.

Not that I know of. I have replaced the 1” to 1/4” mesh.

I'm sure she didn't mean it to be rude, just trying to help!

I didn't say it to be rude just honest. Chicken wire ONLY keeps chickens inside, does nothing to keep predators out.
