We were free ranging our girls for the last few months and had no issues until this week. We had 10 girls in our flock, 2 Red Stars, 2 New Hampshire’s, 2 Black Sex Links and 4 Delaware’s. My neighbor saw the fox run off with our poor girl in his mouth. This run was an immediate response to the threat. 5’ x 16’ with chicken wire fastened underneath a pressure treated base. Chicken wire on all walls with the exception of the shared coop wall. Wood frame and plywood roof with rubber roofing on order and will be installed later in the week. 6” of sand covered by straw. Ador2 automatic door opener/closer. The interior of the coop is 4’ X 16’ with 2 roost boxes. I would love any input anyone has even if it’s helpful criticism. Have I missed anything? Size adequate for a 9 bird flock?
