Wait - not keep them confined???
this would be used for cooping up at night, roosting and nesting boxes

I *think* the areas circled in red may be in question. Seems that a chicken could get out or something get in those large open areas. Perhaps I'm not clear that you are covering all the pallets with wire, which would cover the gap?

I guess I didn’t make it clear enough in the post that those areas are where the screen is being placed.

So you’ve had one attack already. The pictured coop will protect your chickens from deer and rain. That’s it.
