Crowing
I’ve used both, hardware cloth and chicken wire. We currently have chicken wire on our run and we’ve had no problems with predators….
However, I’m in the process of building a new coop and it’s in more of a wooded area. The Coop is secure, I used hardware cloth for the skirt, doors and windows have locks, with an automated pop door that’ll be closed at night. Run will also have a skirt on it. I’m just really confused on why people say not to use chicken wire on the run, and that animals can “chew” through it.
