We were looking into that. Our dogs are fine around the birds, we have house rabbits so they understand not to chase small creatures. The fence is up in the back lot, hot wire was being discussed. I’m thinking the whole perimeter, but definitely the coop/run. Traps as well for raccoons. We have invested enough already, we don’t tolerate predation. The first coop is getting along well, it’s a reclaimed garden shed 8x16. There is a pick-up bed camper we will turn into a coop next. Lucky for us this place was left a GIANT mess (dude, these people that lived here before, I just can’t even) so there’s lots and of building materials to work with. Yay for more projects!
