I've been building my run/pen for my coop 20' by 26' and been reading about putting the wire in the ground. That's a lot of digging. Can't I just lay in flat on the ground and lay big rocks around the out side.

I didn't think of that, Thanks, I'll just throw some loose dirt on top and some grass seed. That's a lot better then digging.
 
It *is* a lot of work but you'll sleep better. Pics in link below.
I hope you're using hardware cloth, not chicken wire.
Not worth the trouble unless you invest in hardware cloth with 1/2" squares...

The digging is definitely worth it in keeping the predators at bay.
