I'm in Kansas too, and in the country. I'm so sorry about your chickens! Did the raccoon climb over the fence, or dig under the fence? Just wondering how he got in? We're going to start building our coop soon, too. But we have more of a coyote problem than a raccoon, or so I think! I guess I don't sit up nights and pay attention.
I'm planing on using the hardware cloth for everything, and maybe the welded wire for the top- not sure yet. Someone on here told me a bit ago- "build for Bear"! Hope you don't have any more problems.
