    Donna, be careful since 'coons are terrible predators of chickens. Our neighbor lost her entire flock to a raccoon--didn't eat them, just killed them and dismembered several.
    If possible, trap the varmint. And you be careful, too. A cornered 'coon can be vicious.

    Let's hope you scared him enough for him to move on to pastures new. Fingers crossed your chicks will be safe from now on.
