See these guys pretty often, but this is the first time I've seen 7 come trooping through. Must have been rush hour.

Our coop is a 8x10 shed with a single man door. We open and close it each morning/evening. The raccoon figured out how to lift the unlocked and slightly cracked window. Smart critter but he forgot to plan an exit and met his demise. Locking them in the shed is the only way we found to stop the bears from getting them. We only have black bears here so they don't mess with the hogs or cows but man are they destructive. I had to build a cage for my trashcans.I built a large enclosure out of light frame work and chicken wire about 10X10 foot in front of each chicken coup. Ended up placing chicken wire along the outside of each coup. It was the only way to keep the raccoons and coyotes out at night.
Probably have a neighbor nearby that feeds them every night. They are on their way to the buffet.There must be something going on. Raccoons, possums, cats and the occasional skunk pass through our front porch all the time. Our front porch must be on the path to somewhere these guys like to go. The turkeys are at least polite enough to only pass through during the daytime.

Thanks babeAt one time I thought they were neat. After getting chased up onto a hood of car one morning in my underwear while trying to letting the dog out mommy racoon would not back off. This happened back when I was working at 3:00 AM. Yelled and screamed wife got up and took a picture and went right back to bed. Not what I had in mind for her to do. After awhile mommy racoon after growling and showing her teeth final took off. Dog never did make it out Little mutt just sat at the door and watched.
