Rocky the Raccoon

I have named this scoundrel Rocky
One night, a couple hours after sunset, I went out to close up the chicken run, and saw something dark running across the yard.  The next evening, I was heading out for a night bike ride and parked my car in the back by the coop to load up my bike and caught the "something" in the act.  While he wasn't going for the chickens, he was going for the chicken feed.  I've heard stories of raccoons only going for the eggs, but I have also heard of the raccoons slaughtering a whole coop.  :(  I've started shutting the coop down before sunset and hope that Rocky doesn't get too hungry... I am guessing Rocky is related to these little ones from last summer... I wonder where his sibling is?
