Fox in the daytime, coons in the night. I've lost chicks to both. If you're not locking them in at night, every night, you will need to use hardware cloth. Raccoons will reach through a chicken wire fence and rip their heads off. They will also climb a fence and get into your run and coop. Hence, I have a mesh fence over the run. I had a raccoon squeeze through a 3x5 inch opening.
