For years my chickens roosted in the trees without a problem. But last
year they were discovered by a great horned owl, who'd grab one each
night. (I've had at least one cat killed by a great horned owl. I
didn't see it happen, but the cat apparently struggled enough that the
owl dropped it, and I found the body with the characteristic holes in the
head from the owl's talons). So I had to make a sturdy, raccoon-proof
pen for them to stay in at night.

That might work, yeah. And being larger, they'd give more light.
