Chickens are a thing of beauty!

You can check out predator protection on our site if haven’t already. 2 ft apron of hardware cloth 19g 1/2 inch at base of coop/run. Same around run, windows, and all vents. May also place larger landscaping rock over that around base. Make sure coop/run are roofed with solid roof.

So sorry you lost your whole flock. I lost one and I was devastated. It is just devastating when we lose pets whether they are chickens or other pets.

I hope that you can get a run or yard figured out and get you new flock when you are ready. Oh and electric fencing helps with predators of the canine variety. We have electric fence run around the bottoms of both the coop and run. So far no more coyotes have tried to dig into our runs. That is the way we lost ours.
