When I raised poultry I always kept the birds in a fully enclosed coop with wooden floor layered with deep litter roughly 2sq ft. per bird. I would open the doors in the morning and the birds would fly out and only come home to lay, eat mash and roost. Evenings I would close the door and never lost a bird in 30 years. In the old days my dad would build chicken tractors with chicken wire walls and the coons and dogs would just tear them apart in the night. I learned my lesson from my dads mistakes to build a strong coop... Bob.

Hi everyone,
We just built our pasture chicken run, put the new layer pullets (5 wks) in there and bang, the racoons got three of them! The racoon(s) dug underneath the frame to seemingly pull them out.
Need ideas for preventing racoons from digging under the chicken run.
Traumatized,
Margaret & David
