From what I have read, as long as you put some type of bedding over the top of the wire, they should be fine. But I think hardware cloth would be more secure than chicken wire. I was also told to go with 1/2" hardware cloth because it is stronger than the 1/4" but should still prevent critters from digging under or entering through the cloth.I am in the process also of building a run. I was planning on putting 1/4" chicken cloth on the bottom of my run. What the danger if any to the chickens.
