Hi

[Becca1972]

New to BYC, live in Illinois, have had chickens for several years. We lost a lot to raccoons.

Hiya, Becca, and welcome to BYC!

Sorry about the loss of your chickens. That has to have been rough!

We have a forum for Predators and Pests you can post in to get some help or advice. Hopefully you can keep chickens safe from those varments!

I hope those darn raccoons don't get anymore of your birds! @Debbie292d gave you a great place to figure out some predator-proofing tips. (But those masked bandits are tricky!) Welcome to BackYard Chickens!
