Does this solve the concern around the 1” mesh, or do folks still think it too risky?

Artie, I read that electric fencing doesn't help with mink. Evidently their fur is so thick that they don't feel it...

The purpose of the larger mesh is to prevent build up on the mesh requiring frequent cleaning. The problem could be a solution if you have some building skills.
Make a tray with plywood and 2x2 around the edge to slide under the roosting bars instead of having the mesh on the bottom. If you notice Justin was putting a tarp under the chickshaw to catch the droppings. With the tray it would be mink proof and you could pull the tray twice a week and use the fertilizer.
