Is this unsafe for chickens in coop?

[SunshineBubble]

I have a crack in the plastic maybe 3 ft from ground. Could any predator make entry there? I can't think of anything. I taped it, but don't know what good that is really. Thoughts? Thank you!

that seems like a sturdy coop i wouldnt be to worried ( but you never know) ........depending on the predators you have in your area for me i have about roughly a 4-5 foot tall coop chicken wire a animal (we think bobcat) climbed up broke through the fence and basically scared the life outta to of my hens

how would you fix it any way

What about a barn cat? Could they get in? I'm in colorado. We have coyotes, raccoon, fox,etc.

Predators are predators, It is there way, to find...well...a way. So. Fix it. One option. If you have scrap corrugated plastic. Cut a small patch, with four inches or so of overlap. Get some two part epoxy, from the home store. Comes in two bottles. I use for lots. Glue it with that. Or, any other of a few of the heavy duty adhesives that dry clear. Good luck.

This is their first night in the coop. I just hope it's safe enough. I'm going to look into the patch thing. No scraps around here, but its worth buying
