I am so scared right now, I was just down at the coop (letting chicks out & feeding them loads of weeds) and I was about to leave when I noticed a hole in my little garden, it was deep and wide. So I was looking around to see if there was any sign of what had done it and I saw a hole at the fence of the coop, itt looks like something was digging a hole but never finished it, I think it is a racoon as I found prints that look like small hands, but with claws.... I will post pics but my camera is out of battery, I am charging it now... I am so scared thoough, this is my second close encounter with a predator (first with a hawk) but I feel really lucky because I have not yet lost any of my 16 5 week old chickens........ I am getting very nervous though. Any tips to stop this before it starts? Does this sound like a raccoon to you??? Please Help, I am getting scared of going down to see them tomorrow morning for fear of what I may find....
