Hi, I am in the process of planning our first coop and run to be built this spring. What is the best way to predator proof our run? We live on a ravine that houses tons of squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons and snakes. Burying the wire is not an option as the yard is built on fill and has many large rocks under the top dressing. Is it advisable to cover the bottom with mesh screening? I am thinking of building a 6 X 8 walk in coop (for ease of cleaning) but am wondering if that is a waste of space as the upper half of the coop doesn't get used (at least from the pictures I have seen) and would be more difficult to heat during our cold winters. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Phil
