Hi Elma, this article discusses many types of fencing that may be appropriate. Hope that helps! https://www.hobbyfarms.com/the-fencing-you-need-to-keep-predators-out-and-chickens-in/
Would you be able to use a small lattice or picket fence? That sounds like it would be very pretty in a white color or to make the coop. You could still leave the chicken wire up and add the lattice around it.
Weave strips of waterproof material through your chicken wire. It would not have to cover the whole square. It would be unique. You could use rope.
Thank you I like that idea too!
you need to build frame walls from 2 x 4's and add the wire to that.
I have an example here:
