Here is what I did to keep the varmits out of my chickens. I put an electric fence up around the OUTSIDE of my chicken lot, see the attached pic. This pic was taken last winter. It is a strand of barbed wire about 10 to 12 inches off the ground. Remember to turn the power off when you turn you chickens out of their lot. I usually just turn it on at night. The fence juicer I bought is strong enough to kill a chicken.

Even so, it is a continuous battle to keep the raccons, opposums, and stray dogs out of your chickens it seems.
