I live in a small country town, we have a back yard that has 8ft colourbond fencing on 3 sides and wire on the fourth that is mostly covered in ivy.

We have had many fox attack before and lost our 3 isa browns. Recently we have gotten 4 polish bantams. They are in the same coop but it has been upgraded to have wooden walls and a wooden doors. The floor is still open. I'm not worried about day attacks being in town, but those crafty foxes at night. If I cover the floor with chicken wire and leave a skirt of chicken wire say 40cm out from the edge of the coop would that be enough to stop them digging under? How fast can they chew through chicken wire? Would two layers of the wire be stronger? I lock them up every night.
