You are welcome they work amazingly well :)

We already had the raccoons in our yard. I believe they den up in our woods or in old woodchuck holes. So we had to test the run and coop prior to adding our new additions. They also like to eat our blackberries, mulberries, cherries, mussels and fish and frogs in the wetlands and river. During...

BAXIA TECHNOLOGY Waterproof Wireless Solar Motion Sensor Night Lights

Raccoons were all around the run last night. We counted 4-6 raccoons. None of them got in but they made a point to come up on both off my balcony decks to poop on them.:he I swear I have to sweep raccoon poop into the garden below every morning. On a bad day my Rat Terrier finds the stinky...

We did the last big test last night. We left some bird seed and a can of tuna fish in the run overnight. We watched raccoons come and go all night. Some even climbed to the top of the run to try to get in. I saw bits of their fur on the hardware cloth and one jerk of a raccoon pooped on top of...

Absolutely no visitors this evening :) Between the locks and the security I think they gave up and now go for an easier source of food. I hope this continues once we add chickens to the picture. We are starting to get them ready for the coop by not using the brooder light during the day and we...

Still no one getting in. Tomorrow I am upping the game and putting a can of tuna in there.

Night 2 all is well. We saw 4 large raccoons walk through the yard last night. 3 just walked by and 1 circled the run 3-4 times before it got sick of activating the motion lights and being seen. Our neighbor has a huge old corn crib and a few old barns that I'm pretty sure they live in. No...

What really upset the raccoons was that I had a solar motion detector light on each side of the run. They tried circling it but they kept having light shine on them. Ha best $25 I ever spent. The possum tried digging but it ran into the ground wire and the big pavers and walked away. We figured...

VICTORY!!! Full bowl of cat food inside the run and no damage!

Here is a pic of the coop. We have been watching it this evening baited with cat food and the light from the solar security lights that I got on Amazon. So far we have stopped 2 raccoons and a possum that tried to both enter through the bottom, tried to dig in and tried to reach in. So far...

Security is working so far. We were sitting in the livingroom and saw the solar security lights go off. We attached 4 of them to the run. We watched for a few minutes and saw a raccoon walk around the run looking for a way in. It ran off after about 5 minutes of checking it out. It had the...

Testing the runs security this evening. All wire/cloth is on, roof is tarped and wired. Door is locked and solar motion security lights are on and ready to go. We put a bowl in the middle of the run filled with cat food which I know attracts raccoons to see what happens. Don't worry the babies...

Thanks :)

We bought our 10X10 Kennel and coop. We use most of the suggestions to beef up security. I was thinking some solar motion lights zip tied or wired to the fence would help to deter predators as well. I was thinking one on each side. For those of you that have a kennel run. How do you secure the...

Could you post a picture of the types of locks you used on your Ecoflex or a link showing a similar type of lock? If you did not know the egg door has a screw hole to screw in a screw to keep it locked. The guy at Family Farm and Home showed me that feature. I was thinking that for additional...

I was thinking that the gap that is always between the gate and side could be filled with a pool noodle or a large pipe insulator that has a slit cut into it to put on the gap area and maybe zip tied in a few spots. Then we could remove it if necessary.

I'll keep your suggestions in mind. Maybe we will buy the kennel roof and put chicken wire or hardware cloth under it to keep critters out. We have a lot of mice around here but they tend to live in the shed and no rats that I know of other than the muskrat variety. The coop will be easy to...

Thanks :) I have not seen to many minks/weasels on my street. I saw one by the swamp but there is a neighbor that free ranges chickens over there. She has tons so I am guessing they are not a problem. The other predators are around. The foxes (seen one visit yard), Coyotes (hear them visit the...

This weekend, we plan on gathering the supplies for our coop and run. We were wondering if this sounds secure. Keep in mind we live in the country by a river and have tons of predators. We are going to start with a 10x10 dog kennel. We are going to run hardware wire on the ground below the...
