Chicken wire mesh allows predators to squeeze thru such as mice, rats, snakes, weasels and squirrels.Coons can reach their paws thru the mesh and yank them out (by dismembering them on the sharp wire) and large predators yank the wire off or rip holes in it.I hope you find your chickens before something gets them all.Unless secured properly hardware cloth won't keep them out either.I'm sorry for your loss.
Yes, it turns out our coop has hardware cloth around it entirely. We had to sandwich the cloth in between what already existed as well as another piece of wood.
