Have had my chicks for 5 weeks now. Growing quickly and anxious to get into their new coop outside very soon. New to chickens after tossing the idea around for a few years. Most worry is about predators, lots of raccoons, foxes and minks in the area. Have a 4x8 coop with underneath run and a 4x8 run attached. Should I also put out some electric wire or is there any other suggestions out there from fellow New England chicken peeps.

! Great to have you here! In my opinion if you have a secure coop and run you shouldn't need an electric fence. Use hardware cloth rather than chicken wire. You can connect with various New England locals by visiting the state threads in the link below. Good luck and have fun!!
