Trish said:In Kerrville, a 4 foot fence wasn't tall enough to keep out the foxes (or the dogs, for that matter on one very sad day).
Hawks, on the other hand....that's been a problem. I think we should consider a topper this time.
We currently have ours screened in up top - very secure. We did, however, have to reinforce the perimeter at ground level due to a persistent coyote who kept trying to dig under to gain access.
For the coop in TX, I am trying to come up with another idea as it seems to me that the run I would like to have may be too large to screen in effectively without having to resort to additional vertical support. But, while I considered owls (will lock in at night), I had not given thought to hawks. I should have as we have a pair of nesting hawks in one of the backyard trees here in SoCal and I am all too aware of the danger they pose to wee critters.
I'll be curious to see what you come up with (and may borrow heavily from your ideas if that is okay
)
