Hi there Synthia!! Welcome to BYC!
Those are some good looking hens!
Bear proof coop? Tell me about it!

 

[Synthia]

We took heavy sheep fence and ran it under the chain link fence run making sure that there was about a foot of the sheep fence was under the chain link and about three feet was on the outside of the chain link an the ground. Then we used the same heavy duty sheep fence to cover the run. That bear tried to dig under the run and ran into fence so he then tried climbing the chain link and ran into more fence and gave up. The fencing on the ground is covered with dirt so they don't know it is there.

Chicken Fort Knox... *sigh* the bear that we had just destroyed the side of the actual chicken house.
Good job on construction!

Thanks. The coop itself is built extremely well also. It would have to be a very large bear to destroy it. We get a lot of racoons and hawks also. None of them have been successful either.
