Having chickens can provide you with eggs and meat, but taking care of those chickens can be a bit of a pain! It’s important to protect the coop, but does the coop need a cover?

Not only does building a fence keep your chickens from wandering away, it also protects your chickens from predators. Most predators are land based, like cats. By building a fence using chicken wire, you can keep predators out.

Unfortunately, some predators can fly. Although it is a lot less likely to happen, some large predatory birds may try and swoop in and steal a chicken for dinner. Some animals can also climb the fence! In order to keep your flock completely safe, it’s a good idea to build a cover on your coop.
