Who’s lurking around the coop 😬

Cant tell by the poop. Anyone have any ideas? This was a few feet away from the chicken run. The chickens are in the shade under trees. this was on the gravel drive I have seen a fox before and coyote, but it’s been awhile. Live in a small town in the desert, but houses are coming up everywhere. Never seen a raccoon but google searching says it is lol. Thanks

Definitely raccoon, I just had that issue myself. Make sure your flock is safely locked in at night. Raccoons have little hands and can open latches.

This is a coyote's. It had eaten persimmons. I'm guess if hungry enough. I saw the coyote on a camera.

Yikes. Thank you. They are locked up every night. I’m going to have to put a camera up to see it. I’ve never seen one here lol
