Protecting Chickens From Racoons - Fortifying The Chicken Run!

A racoon figured out how to get over my fence and through the bird netting that I have had on my chicken run for several years. I need to reinforce the run. Not only for racoons, but for predators such as bobcats, owls, hawks, and eagles.
Sorry about some of the audio and video quality, I used my GoPro 8 for all the filming so I would not drop my good camera in the mud.

I was even putting my chickens at night, and the RatCoon reached through a tiny hole and pulled their leggs off.

That was a lot of work for one person! Looks great!

[@CMooreStarts]

Thank you. The chicken ordeal took away from me doing my winter garden upkeep during the two sunny days on my Christmas vacation.

[@cherylwmh6543]

How has the chicken wire held up? Have they been able to cut through it? Thanks great video

[@CMooreStarts]

Doing great. Just survived 3" of snow this week. Happy Gardening!

Thinking 2 strands of electric is best bet

[@CMooreStarts]

I did think about that.

I just put up a trail cam in my garden to see what was eating my plants and found out it was a baby opossum. I work nights so I can monitor it on my cell while at work and the little _#@& was just there, shopping for a snack, just 2 hrs ago! Well, I'm planning on making it harder for him to shop and snack tomorrow night LOL Wish me luck!

[@CMooreStarts]

Good Luck!

[@jorgefranco8871]

Y dont you cut that thing on top of your cap off that gets stuck on your chiken screen

[@CMooreStarts]

It holds the ballcap together.

Great another option would a dog

[@CMooreStarts]

My big lab chow mix who went after everything passed away early in the year. My other dog also a rescued lab mix is afraid of everything.

[@Spartan-cz8wc]
