We started out with chicken wire, reading here I realized that was wrong, we didn't take it down but we added layers of horse fencing Overlapped but off set kinda looks like hardware wire now all the way up to the top of the coop. Along all 4 sides on the outside 4 ft chciken wire stapled with those U nails to the side 2 ft up and bent 2 foot on ground pounded in tight with those plastic tent stakes, on top of that I added another layer 1 ft on the wall and 3 ft out then because I was still not happy took some more and did the same thing on the inside around all 4 walls. I did the same double layers inside and outside the run.
The one door on the open wall is on the inside the fencing has covered the outside of the door. The open wall including that old swing door I was talking about the wire comes down and into the ground except where the old gate door is which is reg. gate fencing covered in chicken wire. But like I said that side also has the two layers of tacked down chicken wire on the ground.
The horse wire is tied togather my me with old electric fence wiring cut to size by me I had to use a hammer wire cutters and a rock to cut it all lol.
The run wall is made of chicken wire and horse fencing with netting over it.
The chickens or only in there during the day, they are to young to stay out all night.
I have solar nite guard lights ordered from
amazon and a baby monitor hook up to hear the girls in the coop and run.
I am very open to advice, and will do what I can but dh is not going to spend the cash on hardware wire. So other then hardware wire what needs to be changed to secure the ladies? If we have the supplies laying around I found I can do it myself. But I can't cut that vent I hate climbing ladders.
Thanks stumpy for answering and helping.
from what i heard
