Predators

[D100putz88]

Hey, so I finished the coop and run. I have some pics. I’m about to put the chickens in the coop for the first time tomorrow. How do i keep the predators out of the coop and run. I’d like to keep my birds. I did put chicken wire under the ground attaching to the band of the coop/run.


How far out should I have the wire from the bottom of the outside of the coop or doesn’t it matter.

Thank you
Thank you
Derek.

Chicken wire is not predator proof.

We put apron hardware cloth all around the perimeter of the cook + run. 18 inches along the wall, and 18 -20 inches on the ground.
