Two nights ago we lost 2 chickens and a chick to a mama raccoon and her 4 (big babies). We captured them on video the next night looking for a way in but leaving without getting in. Last night the mama coon found a way in. We think she lifted the metal roof and got in that way. I heard the chickens upset about 2:30 am and my husband ran out the coop with his 22 rifle and got the mama coon after she got one of my white leghorns. Now we have her 4 baby coons to deal with. I think tonight we'll screw the roof on tighter. Yesterday we had one trying to get in during the day and my husband shot, but did not kill it. Has anyone had any problems with them during the day or do they just look for food at night?
