I have buried hardware cloth around the run two feet out. I have some old lumber, logs and busted brick laying around I thought about stacking it along the backside of the coop to help prevent animals from digging in.
I'm afraid they might back up and dig behind the logs missing the hardware cloth. Did I mention the wife will KILL me if something gets her chickens...lol
