It’s a chicken coop.
Question by Candy: How to keep raccoons away from my chicken coop?
I’m wondering how to repel raccoons away from my chicken coop. Lots of my birds have gone missing over the last week. I’ve seen raccoons running by the chicken coop. I chase them off, but they keep coming back. I have 1 rooster, 5 hens, 1 turkey chick, and the rest are baby hens. Any advice would be great!
I don’t really want to hurt them, I just want them to find their dinner somewhere else.
What do you think? Answer below!

You can hire a trapper(animal control) to come and remove them, you can shoot them if you’re ok with that kind of thing, I would recommend the former. Or fortify your coop so they can’t get in.
