i would find a chicken distress call and entice the fox to come in where you should be waiting with a .22 magnum and shoot the bugger. sorry for your loss.

It's only the outside that is strongly pinned up with chicken wire. I like the wire because it allows them to get sunlight. Its not just chicken wire...there are posts keeping sturdy and the wire strong so nothing can get in. It has been like that for about a year now and no birds have been injured or missing.
When I built the coop, I went around all sides of the wire pulling with all my might and looking for holes making sure nothing would be able to find it's way through.

Until you get a coon coming around.... see the first picture in this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=548571
I'm sorry but there is no such thing as "strongly pinned up with chicken wire"

At night, when coons come out the chickens are roosting safely in their coop. Even if a raccoon were to get in the wire, they would have to get in the coop as well which is nearly impossible. And the coop is made of wood not wire.
