Saw two raccoons outside my garden fence two days ago ( I live in the city). I am new to chickens raising and this put me in a bit of panic. I went into higher gears, further barricaded my chicken coop, used longer staples to secure the fence around the run and nailed 2x1 wherever there is caging on the coop, considered a bb gun, racoon traps, electric fence, barbed wires, watch tower... Anyway, really went into a panic. Can I actually keep my chickens safe? Can I let them roam in the yard during the day? Should I keep them in the run (which is not as safe as the coop? Should I find them a new home? These chickens are not just our future egg layers, they are now part of the family!!!! Can't bear the idea of finding one mutilated by a raccoon or some other wild life!!!! Ideas anyone?
