You might want to consider reinforcing that chicken wire with 1/2" hardware cloth. We've got fisher cats, coyote, loose/stray dogs etc. as day time predators. They would have no trouble tearing through the chicken wire.

That's their run, not the coop. Coop has the 1/2" hardwire cloth. Do you think that will be ok?

The run should be protected with 1/2" hardware cloth at least on the bottom 2 feet, higher is better. I was specifically listing day time predators.
I also have a black bear that has been seen in my area. My run and coop are full secured with 1/2" hardware cloth and a 2' predator apron around all of it. The entire setup is contained within a 1/3 acre pen surrounded with poultry netting that is charged with 10,000 volts. Nothing gets in.
I would be concerned about just using chicken wire even on the run. You never know when a stray dog, coyote, fox, fisher cat is going to come along when you aren't around and tear into the run.
