SSS is Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.
I have a chainlink run as well. It is true raccoons can reach in and pull the chickens out piece by piece. Hasn't happened to me, and I have plenty of raccoons around. Like others said, my chickens are in the coop at night.
I have seen it posted that larger predators can break threw the edges of the chainlink where the soft wire attaches the fence to the frame, so it is necessary to reinforce. And I've had small animals wiggle threw where the rounded corners are (possums) and even smaller (baby possums & rats) straight threw the fence. (And of course I'm referring to panels.) I have a chainlink floor, and ceiling as well.
I just expanded it a couple weeks ago. Here's a pic just before I got done.
