Run/Pen Advice? Need advice on predator-proofing!

Be careful using rabbit hutches for chickens. The wire on the bottom will allow the toes to go through. I know someone who used one and a raccoon managed to grab the toes and yank part of a leg off. Poor chicken.
If you use a rabbit hutch put a piece of plywood on the bottom so the toes are safer. Also the wire can have sharp points and poke a foot potentially causing bumblefoot.

I should have specified, it's not wire on the bottom, thank goodness. It's a solid wooden floor. It used to have wire before one of my dogs chewed it up, and it was rebuilt to be wooden all around (except the front side).
