The chickens are no more :( :( :(

When we got home from vacation Bill informed us that the little chickens were gone and he suspected raccoons. We reinforced the coop as best we could covering all the holes, etc...thinking that would be enough. We woke up Thursday morning to quite a shock. They were able to get into the nesting box EVEN with a brick on it by tearing off one of the boards under the latch then lifting it and.... :( :( :( We found the carcass of the white chicken (Lockhart) and lots of feathers of the brown and black chickens (Lupin and Quirrel). We had set up a night vision/motion sensor and have some pictures of the culprit...they're huge! I won't post pics of the destruction...but they are available upon request :)
