So sorry!
It's about having a predator proof coop so the birds are safe, not about trying to kill every one that gets into an unsafe coop. Hardware cloth everywhere! Any opening larger than 1/2" diameter will give access to rats and weasels, at least. And chicken wire only keeps the birds inside, not predators outside.
Most of us have learned the hard way about security, and have miserable stories to tell, while we improved our flock housing.
Again, I'm so sorry,
Mary
