Thanks all. You've helped. Yes, we're thick with raccoons and I lock everyone up at night. I feel okay with the chickens in the fence if I am gone...Letting them totally free and being gone all day doesn't sound like a good idea at this time.
In another post I mentioned finding raccoon scat on the chicken coop roof
I've trapped 6 since that night and 2 more prior.
I am also starting 50 meat chickens next week, and will be using the electric netting fence around them. I'll let you all know how it goes. I chose 25 Range chickens from JM Hatchery and 25 Barred Rocks from McMurray...Wish me luck.
I appreciate everyone's willingness to help out newcomers to the group.
