I have had problems with a mink (not with my brahmas-yet). We have a creek on our property that it lives near. Last year I lost all 10 of the call ducks that I showed. We have a bald eagle that lives near our property that took 2 of them when I let them out to free range.The mink comes at night though. We learned our lesson and made an indestructible coop (that my brahmas are currently in). We used thousands of staples to make sure all of the wire was secured on ALL sides of the coop. I suggest you do something similar, thoroughly inspect your coop and run to make sure there are no small holes, the predators are good at getting through tight spaces.Also, about predators, any problems with weasels or rats? I think the only thing that might get into my coop would be something small like that, that could squeeze into small holes.
