I am new to chickens. I had 5 hens and only have 3 now. Last night a dog got into my coop. I thought the fence around it was secure, but I guess it wanted in. This was about 3am and by the time I got out there the dog already killed 2. A few others were nipped, but are okay. I cleaned there wounds and I know they are still in shock.
Soooo....
I have a fence around my chicken coop. Its just chicken wire I got from the hardware store and stakes to hold it secure. I turned in the bottom and anchored them with small metal rods that would hold the fence down from the inside. I thought it was secure, but obviously not. So I need to replace it as soon a possible. What is the best kind of fence to put up. It was about a 5ft fence.
Any advice would help. I just want to make sure they are safe.
