Disappearing Act

I have night lights in all of the coops. I can look out of some windows at night and see the lights and know if the lights are on the electric wire around the coops and pens is on. I do test it every evening when I collect eggs.

Our game cam wasn't pointed at the crate like I thought. They have one more night in the crate and then they go into the coop. I think the coop has been reinforced pretty well. Fingers crossed! Thanks for all the comments and suggestions!

If the predator didn't come back last night it could still come back. Here most of the predators prowl at night.

Last nights visitor. It was raining out.

We held our breaths last night and woke to all remaining chickens in tact. They will be moved to the coop today and more secured than presently. Thank you all for your input.

If you post a picture of your coop and run, you can get some input from others here.

Do you have an apron all around the coop and run, to prevent diggers?
Did you use hardware cloth on all the openings, windows, vents...?

The coop has hardware cloth and screening. The issues were while they were in the large dog crate and I then put chicken wire around it, while the coop was being built/completed. They are moving to the coop this afternoon. Thanks
