Plaid- that's awful! We have a family of raccoons living next door at the abandoned property and we caught 4 so far this summer in our live trap and a skunk, some squirrels. I'm worried about my chicks too with a big bad mama coon and at least 3 more kits we saw. We have a big roll of hardware cloth and I'm maybe getting a post hole digger today and get working on the expanded predator proof run for my dp meaties. I don't want a coon eating my babies!
