New chicken and waterfowl coop ideas?

[Randomhumanbeing]

I plan on building two coops, one for chickens and one for ducks. I've been googling some ideas but most of them seem to have the wire too thin, which can be very bad for me since there's predators here. We don't have raccoons, foxes, etc. We have mongooses and rats, therefore they can get in easily and kill them. This had happened before and was the reason of why my parents (I am 18) decided to stop breeding and raising different types of poultry.

Generally you can use hardware cloth to prevent predators from getting in. It's a bit expensive but worth it.
