I lost my whole flock to a raccoon last night. It pushed the ventilation panel in and killed all seven of my chickens.

Please, please, please learn from my mistakes and drop whatever you're doing Right Now and anything stapled on needs to be u-nailed or nail gunned on. Not even the long staples. U-nail. Fastener. Bracket. If a five year old can get into it, so can a raccoon.

I had just been talking about how my silkie rooster Kevin was so sweet because I spent the first two months of his life carrying him around like a baby, but that he'd still attacked neighborhood dogs and run down hawks. They were such, such good birds.
