Raccoons keep tearing holes in my duck run fencing (lemmy.world)

I've come home to my ducks being free in the yard 3 times this week. Every time I patch a hole, another one is made. My ducks are well trained so I was able to get them in easily. The two most notorious escapees led the others back in when I opened their gate

What's your fence made of?

Chicken wire is for keeping chickens in.

That's for poultry during the day. It's not for keeping predators out.

You want 1/4" hardware cloth for that.

I'm using chicken wire as fencing. I'm adding more wire and hardware cloth on top of that.
