What happens here
To prevent predators from accessing the chickens, all exposed areas, particularly the run, are enclosed with durable wire mesh. This mesh extends all the way up and over the top of the run and the main coop structure, creating a fully enclosed environment. The video emphasizes that predators like coyotes, foxes, or raccoons can be persistent, so ensuring a completely wired enclosure, including the roof, is paramount. This design minimizes vulnerable points and deters climbing or digging predators.
Goal: A critical aspect of chicken coop construction is ensuring robust protection against predators. This step involves securing all openings and surfaces with appropriate materials to prevent unwanted entry.
