Can I get a few examples, pictures of out door coops that are protected from predators, We are building one for two chickens and want to make it full proof the first time but also would like them to free range when we outside. Your pictures will help Thanks
 
Two chickens is not a good number. I would get 2 more when you are done building your coop and run and I would plan it size wise for at least 10.
My structure is designed to hold at least 25. So you would do a much scaled down version of this.
The key points are 1/2" hardware cloth over all the openings, 3 to 4 square feet per bird in the coop, one nest box for every 4 to 5 hens, a run with a solid roof and a 2-ft predator apron all the way around the setup with the entire thing sitting inside and electrified poultry netting fence.
