We've got the fort knox of coop and run: they both have wide aprons of chicken wire buried in the soil around them, they both have good roofs, in addition to the apron, the coop has a floor constructed of plywood layers between which we sandwiched more chicken wire .. but we live in predator heaven. So not only do I close the girls inside the run, I then close the door between run and coop.
We may lose the occasional hen to a fox or coyote when they're out foraging, but I'll be darned if the girls will be assaulted at night.
