Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out.
Hardware cloth no chicken wire.

Thanks. Happy for any advice

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Consider removing the newspaper and putting down pine shavings for the chicks. Newspaper is very slippery and can cause tendon issues for them.

Thanks

Welcome. I use pine shavings in my coops.

Hi, I’m new to backyard chickens and have been loving chickens for about 5 years. I’ve hatched chicks under a broody hen twice and twice in an incubator. I currently have 16 x 2 week old RIR/RIW chicks. We’re starting our flock over again after a fox took our hens last year. Hubby is also building a more secure home for them. I’m hoping to gain lots more info from all of you that are far more experienced than me.

Welcome here so sorry about your loss but you'll be more secure this time.
