Please get your ducks somewhere safe until this is resolved.. . that raccoon looks all sweet and innocent balled up in there but it is hoping for bed AND breakfast I just know it!
Got a pitchfork?

Well thanfully I had then I'm the sheltered run today (separate from the coop) because of the high winds. But it's getting pretty chilly tonight so I don't wanna keep them in for much longer..they're safe for now, I just need to get the raccoon out now.

Okay so here's a list of things that scare raccoons out of their hiding places. 1.) Loud noises (portable radio, bluetooth speaker?) leave it in the shed. 2.) Lights, turn on as many as possible. 3.) Bad smell, specifically apple cider vinegar. Hopefully something helps.

What about a rake or shovel ? Is he eating a duck ? I would bring all the ducks inside ? in the tub ?
 
Well, finally got him out nearly two and a half hours later! I removed one of the vent covers and tied my Bluetooth speaker to a rope and lowered it into the duck coop from there blasting loud metal music, sprayed vinegar in there, shined spotlight fliashlights in, and he didn't budge. So, I got a longer metal pole instead of the brook and started poking it with but but after like 15 minutes I started getting annoyed with him and started being pretty rough with him. He started waddling out but stopped and sat right outside of the doorway on the ramp and wouldn't move. So i literally threw one of those small dog igloos at him because I didn't wanna throw my pole and not have anything to defend myself with in are he came at me and the igloo was the closest thing. It didn't even seem to phase him even though it landed right on him and stayed there. My friend moved it off of him with a shovel and then poked at him with it but he didn't move but eventually he ended up moving and just walking away. He didn't seem scared of us at all no matter what we did.
