Well, it only takes once to learn not to touch it.
But, seriously - it seems that ducks and chickens like to sit at the edge of runs. So maybe another solution would be to add hardware cloth around the bottom about a foot or two up the side which would still allow you to move the run. This would not allow a predator to grab anything. You can also have an apron around the perimeter - many have used such a set up for their chicken tractors.
You could also try a 1x2 welded wire instead of hw cloth. It is less costly per foot.

Like chicken wire? Would that work or nah?

We have poultry netting also. Would that work? I’ll still play the radio for extra precaution though

If your time is short, anything would be better than nothing. But, once you have time and the finances invest in some hardware cloth or welded wire. I would hate for you to lose one of your animals.

Most predators are deathly afraid of humans so human scent will keep them away, may seem gross but peeing around the outside of your pen and/or hanging a shirt you have worn a lot but not washed, hang on the pen . Coons are difficult as they are not that afraid of people . They can get through Chicken wire if they really want to , our pens have something solid up to at least 3 feet all the way around (we have Coyote issues )

And we are pretty sure it was a coon…
