Hey everybody I'm a new chicken dad of about 1 month. I have 3 young SL wyandoots and they all seem to be doing really well, and growing insanely fast. They are about 10 weeks old. My coop is pretty solid I think. I made a run that is secure on all sides and on the top, and there is a coop inside of the run that they hardly ever use. I also made a door from the run into my shed that I created a much larger indoor area for them, that is also much more accessible to me. The indoor area inside the shed is about 6 feet tall and I used chicken wire and 2x4s to secure that area. I live in mt Washington ky, about 10 minutes outside of Louisville. My question is what predators do I need to be concerned about in my area? Also there is currently a HUGE groundhog living right underneath my shed where my girls live. Is that something I should be worried about? Thanks for any advice. I have included a pic of the outside run before I made the inside. You can see the shed tho so you pretty much get the idea.

All of them...chicken wire won't stop any predator except birds of prey.

Oh.... and ground hogs are vegetarians.
