Hot wire. After loosing 1/3 of my flock to coyotes I surrounded the pen with a hot wire. The only box I could get was rated for 5 acres. I used it around a 45x45 pen. The first time a coyote tried to climb the fence I heard him yelping until he was far off into the desert. One tried again 10 days later. Same results. I never had another problem with coyotes getting into the run. It sounds like it may have been a bear that tore through the plywood walls. So sorry for your loss. I know how it feels.
