new to it all ... chicken wire in or out side of run??

[dutchlion]

we're building our coop and run now... our coop will be fenced inside the run... we are using 14g welded wire on the outside (buried 12 inches) with chicken wire on the inside.... the coop windows and vents will also be covered in hardware cloth. any thoughts on this?

I double wall my run. 2"x4" field fencing on the outside of the framing to keep out the big predators, and 1/2" hardware wire on the inside of the framing to keep out small predators. The fencing is stapled to the framing with 2" staples from an air powered staple gun. It cost a bit more, but I sleep much better at night!
