Okay so, recently we had a raccoon attack. We had 8 chicks and i turkey. Not big, the chicks were medium sized still having feathers. The turkey was still developing. But the chicken house wasn't so secure. The raccoon had, killed or ate them 6 of them including the turkey sadly... but two were left. We secured the house a bit more and left the rest, 2 , in the house. But the next day they were gone, and there was blood on the floor.
We recently bought 7 baby chicks. We secured the house as much as we could, we have a plastic fence around the house. The house has around 4-5 locks. And we have think wire, with many small squared, the door has, 2 layers of thick wires. And small windows with the same wire we had on the deceased chicks, but 2 layers too, and we nailed a lot of nails inside. We also have a small light inside the house in order to keep them warm. Are my chicks safe? Please include any details, I dont wanna go through the sadness of them all being killed. I cant afford an electric fence. What are somethings i can use in order to scare the raccoon away?
