Yesterday I saw 2 large hawks circling above my chicken run and I got kind of nervous. Today I fenced in a much smaller area for them so I could put a cover on it. It's probably 6x8. I tried putting chicken wire on the top but it's sagging in. I'm not sure how to support the center. Is there something better than chicken wire that I could use for the top that will let sunshine in but keep the hawks out or would you have any suggestions on supporting the center of it?
Also, if I make it strong enough to keep nighttime predators out, I can leave the coop door open at night so they can go outside as soon as they wake up and not wait for me to come open it for them which I'm sure they'd enjoy
