Everyone on here has had to deal with predators one way or another. They will strike no matter how predator proof you believe your coop to be. Know your flock and your coop and they will thrive. It’s work and a chore for a reason. They just happen to be worth it. A few weeks ago the screen on my window was ripped out. Luckily I had hardwire cloth on inside. That day I added more to exterior of window. Point is they live outside and variables will always force you to adapt. Yes weather also creates an issue. It was so dark after a front blew in my girls didn’t get in before door shut them out. I was out in a downpour with a tornado warning putting them in the man door. I got them all but one. I thought I lost her. Given her ability to care for herself she found a place to hunker down for night and survived storm and predators. She was with the flock the next day! Don’t be lazy with your commitment and you will be just fine!
Can't seem to win. More sick birds?

Anyone trained their dog to stay away from chickens like this?
