Coop mangled, feed all gone and chickens all fine?

I saw it come back and scared it off. It was after the chicken food, not the chickens.

Glad you could scare it off and it didn't turn on you. I've read that they can be really aggressive.

You'll probably need STRONG electric -- like for bear.

It was a massive wild pig, maybe 200 lbs.

Time for bacon and pulled pork!

Sounds like a hog.
Edit: I should have read through, it was.

Stout coop on concrete or pavers with an electric fence or bullets.

Bullets would b cheaper and quicker.

Now would be the perfect time to build a better, bigger, predator proof coop.

I think it could be a fat raccoon. They like feed and can do a number on fencing. I had one pull a juvenile roo through a hole after pulling a big enough area of my fence up and that wood looks thin. I think a big raccoon could handle it. I've had coons that knock over my feeders outside my smaller coops and roll them around the yard. I also have milk jugs filled with water that I use to fill waterers, on one occasion they rolled the filled ones around and dumped them. Those jerks eat everything.

I agree with you!! Raccoons can cause major damage.
