It does not matter if you live next to the woods or right in town. Racoons are everywhere.
A game camera will record what you actually have moving around your area when you are not looking. You might be suprised.
Your chickens need a secure place to sleep at night that keeps everything else out.
The chicken coop i have today is the result of many different preditors showing me where I had made a mistake in thinking it was "good enough"
I started out with an old shed and was contantly patching and fixing. Finally i drew out a plan on paper and my husband and i built a coop from reclaimed materials, including the old shed we had torn down.
Good luck with your chickens.
This is not your neighbors fault.
