Lots of good info here. Another deterrent I have read says to use laundry sheets because they smell odd or human-like. Maybe helps to cover chicken smell.
I use a lot of heavy old fence posts and place them against vulnerable areas of the coop, too. They are barricaded in. And I pray a lot.
Wondering about laying 36” of hardware cloth on ground on all sides pinned to ground and screwed to base of run fencing. Let grass grow thru. Will that suffice?
