If you keep chickens, raccoons are one of your absolute biggest threats because they are smart, persistent, and surprisingly dexterous. In this video, we explore how to protect your flock effectively by replacing standard chicken wire with heavy-duty half-inch hardware cloth, securing all doors with two-step locks like carabiners or padlocks, fortifying the perimeter against diggers by burying hardware cloth or extending wire aprons, and eliminating food attractants before night falls.
