In terms of animals that I have actually seen in proximity to my chickens, hawks are the worst. I don't know if I have ever lost a chicken to one (aside from the one that I lost a few weeks ago, which might or might not have been the fault of a hawk), but they get quite brave.
I have had foxes, skunks, opossums, and raccoons in the yard (sometimes in broad daylight), as well as a mink or weasel of some sort. I've seen domestic cats passing through, as well as the occasional roaming dog.
Coyotes will walk across the back of the property, but they haven't yet crossed the fence that I've seen and hopefully never will because I do not want to come face to face with a coyote in the dark.
I want to get cameras to see what actually comes through the yard at night. At the same time, I'm not sure that I actually want to know.
