If you mean ordinary red brick paving stones, no. They are too light and easily moved one at a time.

Large concrete blocks maybe, but if you are buying new, I believe hardware cloth would be cheaper.
 
My husband and I laid hardware cloth flat on the ground all around the outside of the chicken pen and covered it with dirt. This seems to keep predatoes from diggin under the wire.
 
Electric fence charger plus wire 6" from ground level all the way around , and at the top also all the way around.35$ for a dog charger, may need a 12.00$ extension cord. 5-15.00 ro electric wire or cord. About 10-15.00 for the connectors and a handle or two. Or you can cut pvc pipe and drill a hole in it for the ground wire and stake them around the bottom with the wire running thru the holes.
