Hardware cloth or no?

[Kchud22]

So I have this window that I installed in my coop that has screens. Should I also reinforce it with hardware cloth to keep predators out?

YES! Screens won't keep out anything except flies and mosquitos.

I'd cloth it. Screening is pretty flimsy and the cloth with withstand better.

Absolutely.

Anything that would like to eat a chicken would go straight through a screen.

Not me, I would carefully remove it.

Yes, to the cloth.
