I have been just waiting for that very thing to happen here.
I have the feed garbage cans for each coop in the runs next to that coop, inside the pen fence.
The bad part is the chickens sometimes get up on the cans and stand there, pooping.
So far, no coons or vermin or bears have tried to get in.
If we hear the dog 'go off', we are grabbing the long guns.
We also have the big garden..and the herbs drying inside the green house in the dehydrator make the entire country side smell like a restaurant..I half expect a bear/coon/possum go right through the plastic in the night
Luckily fearless Jack, the floofy-doofus, is on the job all night, doing a fantastic job of keeping us awake and the critters away.
The big bar-be-que and the feed & the dehydrator may just lure a bear in anyways......
There is no way we can scrub that bar-be-que everytime we use it, which is 3-4 times a week...
