Depending on how good you at shooting, may have another suggestion.  My Mom just walk in and I was telling her about your message and I knew she has had problems with coons and possums in her coop too.  So I asked how she dealt with it.  .357 and a bowl mixed with yolk and whites from eggs and toxic anti-freeze.  Just leave it out at night and bring it in the morning.  Coons disappeared.  I know, not the nicest way to deal with them but you got to do what you got to do.  Coons was ripping heads off the chickens and leaving the bodies and the area was known for rabies, so getting rid of a problem before it got out of hand.  Hope this helps, Aurore

  Well, it seems to have happened- the raccoons seem to
  have found the chickens. I went out about 3-4 AM
  because I heard a disturbance, and there was a large
  raccon, staring at me, daring me to argue with him. I
  got one of R & M's walking sticks, and offered to
  discuss the matter in detail, and he left. Checked on
  the chickens- two were missing, wouldn't come when I
  called. Checked again this AM, and only one was
  missing. All the Rhode Island Reds were fine (that
  includes Houdini, for all you Houdini fans out there
  ;-) but one of the black and greys is still missing.

  Muiredach, did that book you sent me include recipes
  for 'Coon? If so, I'll get it from where I put it up.
  What are they called in French?

  Think I'd better get the shotgun out.....
