I have similar predators minus the wild hog and add hawks and eagles. In my experience, my chickens are very alert. I had one gimpy chicken who we lost to an eagle, but the rest have free ranged since we’ve gotten them with no incident. They have several big bushes to hide in, one of our porches that they love and I’ve just given to them, and their coop.
I homeschool and am here all the time. When I notice predators watching them I’ll keep them shut in their fenced in area for a few weeks, then let them back out.
