When you decide to raise chickens in their garden, numerous aspects are taken into consideration which serve to guarantee them an adequate lifestyle and which allows them to live comfortably. The questions that mainly arise concern him space needed for the chicken coop, the quantity of food to be guaranteed for them every day, the best type of food according to the breed of hen that you decide to breed or if it is possible to breed them together with other poultry animals.
If you live in the countryside, however, it is necessary to take into consideration a fundamental point for their safety, that is the possible predators. Often the hens are in fact victims of wild animal attacks who, driven by hunger, decide to sneak into the chicken coop to feed themselves.
How to protect hens from foxes
How can this stop being a concern? A key element to consider in solving this problem is choosing a chicken coop that keeps them safe even at night, when there is no one to watch them.

Having a chicken coop that has also integrated a floor in addition to the walls can be more useful, as even if the fox digs it will not be able to enter the chicken coop in any case.
Il chicken coop material is another important factor. Having poor quality material or material that can be easily damaged with nails or teeth is not the best choice, as it could lead to a breach in the walls that would allow foxes to enter easily. On the contrary, a material designed specifically not to yield and not to be damaged under the pressure of bites or scratches, can make the difference for the safety of your chickens.
Another element to consider is the type of opening of the chicken coop, that is the door through which the hens enter and leave the hen house. In fact, this must be duly closed and difficult to open for anyone who is not a human being, so even if the foxes were to try to enter the chicken coop from that opening, it would be impossible for them to succeed.
