Hi, new member here and I’m really green but I’m not chicken

Hello, and welcome to BYC.

Hello & welcome.
I haven't had issues with snakes. Are they large?
If you have a nice secure coop with appropriate hardware cloth the racoons shouldn't be an issue. I have lots of predators (coyotes, racoons, hawks, mink) none have ever got a taste of chicken from our homestead.
Best of luck!
