Surround your coop/chicken yard with 3 strands of electric fence. The top strand should be the height of a bears nose, the bottom should be just above the ground & the middle one in the middle of these two. Make sure that each strand isn't touching anything & purchase the highest out put fencer box you can find. Once the bear touches the electric fence with his nose he'll/she'll think twice about coming back.
