Run wire - is chicken wire okay in this situation?

They are red foxes. Mostly they seem small but the one that ran through was largish. Chain link fencing might be better then.

Ok, good to know. We haven't decided for sure yet but I think we'll just go ahead and use the chicken wire around the bottom (doubled with the 2x2). I didn't realize 2x2 wouldn't be safe at night though. Guess we'll either have to make friends with the neighbours or hope they'll be okay in the coop for a couple of days with someone checking on them once.

Remember that chainlink is only dog/foxproof if it is installed very, very correctly i.e. quite tightly stretched and well-attached all 'round. If it is at all wibbly, animals can just pry two adjacent wires apart and make really quite a large hole for them to enter thru.
