Lost 4 birds in one night to a raccoon last Tuesday

I thought my coop was secure but that raccoon just popped the latch on the run door like it was nothing. Woke up to feathers everywhere and four of my best layers gone. Anyone else had a predator figure out a latch they thought was safe?

Yep. Switch to a carabiner with a screw lock. Raccoons have thumbs bro.

Read somewhere they can unscrew those too if they really want to.
