My neighbor has plenty of chickens no issues and we have coyotes foxes hawks snakes and an occasional bear. No issue. Get a better pen. Kill 5 coyotes, the females go into hyper estrus and guess what you now have more coyotes than before. Get a Live stock dog or a better pen electric fences work fine. But you probably knew all this. Coyotes aren’t like people, no good source they will move on.

Get a live trap. I have had good luck baiting mine with sardines.

I got rid of about 24 raccoons that were eating a lot of bird food that I had put out for birds and squirrels. The raccoons were pulling on my windows and trying to burrow through my doors all night.
There are recipes on line for using peppermint oil.
1. Quit feeding anything that does not require it. In other words keep feeding dogs, chickens and homeless people.
2. I ordered Peppermint Oil from Amazon.
3. Mix the peppermint oil with warm water and some Dawn in a 2-liter soda bottle. Look up recipes for it on line. I just mixed it arbitrarily. Start with the water if you do not want excessive bubbles.
4. Spray or pour around buildings, openings, sills, etc. You do not want to walk through it or it will track through your house and vehicles.
Sorry for the caps: DO NOT MIX IT IN YOUR HOUSE OR POUR IT ANYWHERE THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO SMELL PEPPERMINT FOR HALF A YEAR.
The raccoons were gone after several days. I gained 2-4 hours of extra sleep every night.
One of my daughters who lives out of state and I have had dreams in the past month of raccoons invading my house. Mine was a nightmare with me screaming while plastered on my back in the bed.
I currently do not have any raccoons, opossums or rats around the house or storage room.
