raccoon proof

    Is this dog house (for ducks) raccoon proof if I put a door on it?

    Raccoons getting chickens

    Any tips or advice on how to raccoon proof your coop as much as possible?? Also will rats/mice get my 5 week old chicks? If so how do I prevent? Thank you in advance!

    Hi, I have had a flock of chickens for 3 1/2 years. I have learned a lot since I started!!! The most we have had at one time is 16 hens. (Roosters were too aggressive and noisy- I would like to try again with a more tame one.) We have lost quite a few to hawks, so now we do not free range...

    Chickengaurd automatic door and raccoons

    I got the Chickengaurd door last May. I've been very happy with not having to open and close the door every day, --and so are my chickens-- but, I've been a bit uneasy ever since, because it does not appear to be raccoon proof. I have looked off and on for the past year to find something...

    Hello

    Hello there. I’ve come across Backyard Chickens many times over the last year but haven’t joined until today. I had a mixed flock of 10 sweet, beautiful chickens.
