Set about building them an aviary with a coop inside...a little too late...
We had a starter coop (omelet.co.uk) that a friend had given us. Fortified it with bricks...crafty Racoons got a hand into a 1/2" gap and had chewed a leg off of one of the Orpingtons by the time I found them. 😔 Broke my heart dispatching "Penny"
If you have Racoons use 1/2" mesh NOT Poulty mesh. 'Coons can reach right through Poultry mesh.
6'x10' aviary underway.
