If you raise chickens, you know how often your chickens go to unwanted places - eat your favourite plants, or get themselves into trouble. And you wouldn't want your girls to wander into danger!
You should get a "chicken yard" to keep them in an enclosed area where they can still scavenge for bugs in the grass.
It'd be even more convenient if you had a yard that was easily portable!
One egg door is included
Predators, like foxes and
raccoons tend to dig right at the
spot where the coop meets the ground.
You can lay galvanized wire mesh on the ground, along the sides of the coop to keep them out.
However, in our own experience, even though we don't use this method on our farm, no predator has been able to get into any of our
many chicken coops - not even a snake. We do have lots of wild critters though, and we recently lost several prized hens when we forgot to close one of the coops for the night.
Most digging predators cannot dig enough in one night to get under the coop. Just put coops on
level ground, and keep an eye out for developing holes. Move the coop if you see a hole beside it.
If you live in fox or marten country (fast diggers), then you should use precautions like

This coop is the good for Ducklings too!
Our ducklings are growing up here in this coop.
We raised the roost bar because they don't need it.
We use a hose to slowly pour water directly into the coop. The coop can naturally hold the water for about half an hour- just enough for them to have a good time!
It's better this way because any container of water will soon become stinky mud, anyway.
We usually move coops every few days, since they're easy to move.
