My birds are disapearing!

[TSW99]

I own two chicken coops and one of the two I never used to lock up at night and both coops were good for around a year. now a predator has moved in the area and killed two birds so I thought well fine I will just lock up at night wrong, I wake of today to find the egg door broken and pulled out, nest box almost ripped off and a wall pushed in. (I will submit a photo of it on my phone). so I'm thinking what is this a Bear or coyote? now I'm out three of my chickens and I'm worried about my other coop. the other coop is stronger though as I built it but I'm still worried. all birds are in the other coop. I live in north Florida so we have both bear and coyotes in the area I have heard coyotes in the past but it doesn't look like the damage one would do to me.
one other thing I'm in the middle of switching coops the new one being one of those thin metal sheds so I don't know if it will be safe?
Any ideas?

Bear

I'd get a trail camera and catch the vandal in the act. I vote for a bear.

Thankfully we have a trail camera I will set it up tomorrow to see what it catches
do any of you all know how I might deter a bear if so

Electric hotter the better. See the bear proofing thread.

Do you think a metal shed would be safe enough
of course lock up a night

Depends on how sturdy. The typical lightweight aluminum "tool shed", no. Well constructed metal building, yes.
