We are about to complete our coop and are now ready to start building our run. I plan to eventually have our girls free range but I do want to have a safe and secure place for when we are out of town and relying on others to keep an eye on our flock. I have seen pics of runs that have some type of netting material over the top to protect against the winged predators. What type of netting is this and where can it be purchased?
Secondly, is electric fence a good deterrent for digging predators? Rather than burying hardware cloth I thought it might be easier to put some hot wire along the bottom of the run. It seems to work very well at keeping my digging dogs in the backyard. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help.
