Scared of squirrels or just love their coop?

Curious as to what you mean about the chicken wire bothering the chickens? I am tempted to look into the electric fence idea but lots of drawbacks to that. My 3 dogs, my young grandchild, and clumsy me who will keep forgetting not to get zapped!

No, no roosters allowed in my town. I thought about a cat but that brings a totally new set of challenges and problems.

Lol yeah I should have been more clear. Just because a couple things from experience is one make sure the wire doesn't have too big of holes, racoons will stick their paws in and it won't be pretty. Also something could dig up and bottom becomes sharp or top so basically make sure its in well which I think you would. By the way LOOOVVEE the name Sue<3 my it was my nana's name.
