coop and run

[Jlee27]

I’ve added wire mesh that leads underground, so the predators can’t get in. This is how big the coop is, and these are my chickies.

The wire mesh looks good but a predator will be able to easily break the chicken wire. The wire mesh will prevent a predator from digging a hole and getting in.
Lovely girls! It is as if they knew they were being photographed!!

How far underground?
Agrees, chicken wire is not predator proof.

It's around 6-7 inches deep
what are other materials to use instead of wire

Stronger mesh than chicken wire.

Good examples of anti-dig apron installation.
