Any advice on more protection is welcome. Electric fence maybe is all I can think of.I had a raccoon kill 18 of my young 12 week old chicks. My hubby caught the momma because she couldn't get back in after we put chicken wire over the top of the run after that but then the next night she came back with her 3 kids and he watched them squeeze through a little 6" square opening. They got 4 more before he could get in to stop the carnage. I have 4 left out of 26 chickens. I cried most of the day and I am still devastated. Not sure I want to get anymore chicks. Like they did it just for fun. Didn't eat them, just took their heads off and left their bodies.
