We built a run/coop for our hens. There are hawks, eagles, owls, coyotes, neighborhood dogs that run wild, wild kitty cats, cougars, etc. that wander through our property. We do not have a lot of trees or bushes for them to hide in/under from predators. When the hens are free ranging, we are also out there so we can keep an eye on them. The run/coop is pretty much predator proof so when we go out of town for a few days, the hens will be safe.
