Are you able to prevent the raccoon from coming back to kill the remaining one?
Chicken wire isn't good enough for raccoons.yes, I secured my coop with more chicken wire as well as set up motion activated lights
Thank you my chick is inside tonight, I’ll work on getting anotherWelcome. Bring the other one into the house and then make sure run and coop has secure hardware cloth including hardware cloth aprons around the perimeter and a ceiling that is secure. Then get another chick for your chicken. Or rehome the chicken you have to a good home.
