Does anyone have special measures for protecting hens at allotments?

Do you use a locked gate? Any suggestions for increasing their security from human pests?

Thanks and regards

Tins well dug in with high fencing and a lock on the gate, plus a big cockerel seem to work OK at our allotments, the bigest problem is keeping Badgers and Foxes out.
