Electric wire for a duck coop?

I was thinking of adding an electric wire around the base of my duck's coop/run to keep raccoons out. I had one eat an egg that I had forgotten on top of the coop and it rattled my duck pretty bad, plus I'm worried now that they've found food there that they'll keep bothering her. Would an electric wire around the base help keep her safe? Or is there a better way to keep them out. I have chicken wire attached to the bottom of the run to prevent them from digging under, but that's about it. I don't have a great photo showing the whole thing but in this one you can kind of see the design of the coop/run (It's halfway painted so excuse the messy design for now lol)
