Thanks for the info..... We actually bought some heaver 14 gauge welded wire fencing that is 3 feet tall that we were going to put along the bottom as well for two layers of protection. Do you think that would work ok?
I don't know. It would keep the preds from reaching thru and getting a chicken on the ground. But they might still go above the welded wife and push thru the chicken wire to get in. If the chickens go into a completely secured coop at night and this is just in the run in daytime it may be ok. Preds are crafty though. I always feel like better safe than sorry.
