I am sorry to hear the raccoons have attacked your chickens . That is so heart breaking.
I have lost fish in my pond that I had for years and had grown huge. I keep a pond knocker to keep the fish safe. The knocker had broken one night and I didn't realize it and in one night the raccoons ate all my cat fish and koi I had for years. Even fish become pets. Fed them by hand every day. No more fish lately just tired of the worry.
Raccoons around here have attacked my cats the vet bill… 😱 i yi yi yiii… and thank goodness they have survived. I bring the cats all in at night to keep them safe. They are my vermin hunters and keep them out of the pastures and garden .
