So far it looks like for the first time we have successfully kept out whatever was trying to get in! I took the dogs out just now and inspected the coop/run and whatever it was tried to dig under in 4 places before it gave up. Looks like the hardware cloth is working!!! Hopefully they don't figure out how to chew through it or something. We did double it up though, and I left all the edges pointy. I didn't want the chickens walking on the wire so I got 2 big bags of wood shavings and spread them not just in the coop where they normally are, but all through the run too. It made it smell really nice out there too! I really hope this is the last of my worries with this. My husband told me last night that if this doesn't solve the problem that we are done with chickens.
Wish me luck!!!
