We had opossums try to get into the chicken run, and one wound up hanging himself in the netting.For protection from predators, 1/2 inch Hardware Cloth is the answer.
We've had Opossums stomping around on the roof of our coops at night (they climb just fine), trying to tear open the upper vents, but the hardware cloth stops them.
We have both Open Air Coops and a Shed which is well ventilated. The Open Air design is oodles better - cooler, drier, smells better, and the birds prefer it.
Building a box does not make birds safer, IMHO.
