What do you recommend as the best predator proof latches? Should I just padlock every entrance or is something simpler I can use? My new coop came with a spring loaded latch, but I suspect raccoons can get into that? Thanks!

We also use caribeeners to secure our latch. Just stick the caribeener into the hole under the latch!I wish I could intelligently describe the locks we have on the nest box lid...one on each end, takes your thumb to move it. It would take two critters to throw both locks at the same time to get the lid open....then we use caribeeners on the sliding locks on the coop door and secure pen gate...this probably doesn't make sense, but they are easy to use and effective.
