Thanks for those tips! If you look at the pic closely, you'll find that there's a ground hugging mesh all around the run. Time will tell how much of an obstacle this will be for the critters we have here. Foxes and martens mostly but lately also the odd raccoon. There's an automatic door that closes upon a signal from a light sensor. First night and it worked brilliantly. Hens went in at dawn and the door shut like half an hour later. In the coop they're extremely safe. Also they all have AK 47s.

im tellin u, put dirt and rocks on TOP of the mesh's excess length bc raccoons r especially strong and stubborn. they WILL lift that mesh up and let themselves in eventually. it's creepy how well they use their hands. they r like ravens/crows with their cleverness but coons got retard strength and they mean af. time will tell and u will see how they str8 up massacre the hens. we had a coon bunch up our mesh liner and use the jagged end to hook it to ahigher up mesh part and then slide under to murder 2 of our fattest, happiest hens. shit sucked, im not tellin this to u for fun, i truly want to prevent u from takin preventable losses AND i want u to make me an omelette with ur eggs! will trade ammo for breakfast lol thts not a joke either. just dont be mad whn its a box of 22LR lol oooooops

Good idea, got some large rocks handy. Yeah, raccoons are fucking monsters. Clubbed one couple weeks ago, was living under the roof and destroyed all the rock wool insulation, shit everywhere, looked like a war zone. Then it fell down through a foldable ladder. Well, he won't do that ever again. https://files.catbox.moe/jdh8h6.jpg

Props for the tips, much appreciated!

yuckkk that hooknose has those typical creepy hands and snear on its face. make sure to sprinkle gypsy tears around the perimeter of ur hen house. this prevents anyone from trying to haggle down the already friendly price u may offer for farm-fresh eggs! keep us updated!
