Hey guys,
I recently lost my entire flock due to critters burrowing 3' deep and 4' into my coops. I've been wracking my brain trying to think of a safe, cost effective way to keep my chickens safe... I thought about putting down hardware cloth but that would be stupid expensive. Then there was the Idea of large plywood boards. Lastly, a friend recommended a thin layer of concrete topped off with plenty of dirt and bedding? Thoughts? Personal experiences?
