We actually built our coop under an old pile barn so there is a 11' roof over the coop and run. The roof ion the coop is 9' (we built a seperate one over the coop). We uses large posts all around the bottom of the coop and made a "floor" out of wire wrapped around the posts for added security. We then put dirt in top of the wire. My concern is for something chewing through the side of the chicken wire so we were thinking of putting sheet metal around the bottom edge- harder to climb and can't be chewed through. My concern is that it would be 2-3 feet high and my girls will not be able to see out. Will that be an issue? I want my girls safe AND happy ;)

The biggest things about predators are that they are either good diggers or good climbers (or both).  If your coop is designed to be able to lock the chickens up inside it at night and is predator proof, that is good.  But, if they are staying in an open area and the run is part of it, you need to bury your fencing down about a foot and the out about a foot (like an L) That helps with the predators that would dig under.  Will your run/coop have a roof?  We used hard tack wire for the coop.  No little raccoon hands can reach in.  Our chickens are only in the run area during the day.  They are under a lot of trees and can not be seen as easily by hawks that way.

OK! I have a question for all the Yo Georgians, I'm always reading things y'all put on here to my DH and today he asked who has the most chickens? So if you have time and feel like chiming in please just post how many chickens you have or for those that have too many to count give me a ball park figure please. :D
