Chicken wire keeps chickens in but keeps zero predators out. Any strong determined predator can shred poultry fencing.

Earlier this year, I was so glad that I took time to close up my girls at night when I came out one morning to discover that something had dug and tore open the chicken wire near the door of the yard. don't have bears but this could have been (according to the fish & game guy) a coyote, large raccoon, or possibly a dog.
I don't allow the girls to spend the night outside since early one twilight a mink got one of my girls. It was small enough to get through the chicken wire (no contest) and fast enough to corner and kill one of the girls. After that as soon as the sun touches the horizon the girls are sent to 'bed-bye'
