I had 3 rescues chickens for 19 months and we thought we had cracked it with a fox proof chicken run but he succeeded in the end. our chicken run is 9 ft high with barbed wire and a 1 foot overhang out wards. in the past the fox has ripped the roof off the chicken coop, dug under the netting into the run and just this evening has killed 7 out. You can save a lot of time, birds, and grief by making the initial investment to predator proof your chicken coop and run. keeping backyard chickens is a wonderful way to grow some of your own food and learn about animal behavior, but it does present the flock master with a few challenges. perhaps the greatest is keeping chickens safe from. Tbh, that's a lot of money for something that isn't fox-proof! neither is chicken-wire, for that matter, so harrod's suggestion isn't all that great, imho..
