We are looking on building a new chicken coop, and we need to make it predator-proof. We have mostly had problems with weasels. We have a duck house right now that has a wooden floor, and we know that will not do. Rats keep chewing through the floor and leaving holes big enough for weasels.
Ideally, we would like to make a concrete floor, but it would be very expensive, close to $1000 if I remember correctly. Concrete tiles would be a bit cheaper ($300-400) but it's still a good chunk of money.
(our prices are based on a 12' by 24' coop, big enough for all our hens, chickens and ducks.
Is there any cheaper way to make a floor that will not get chewed through?
