What concerns me is what appears to be heavy breathing. :( Seems a lot more motion in the back end than would be normal for just free-ranging. Comb color good, and always good or changing? Does her belly feel normal?
Her belly does feel normal. Comb color is good for Lilly. This is a hen that lays 2 or 3 eggs a year! I would really be surprised if she is trying to lay an egg. I'm not ruling it out but it would be a surprise.
 
Okay, I'm going out on a limb here:
1)Muscrat or raccoon (can't tell if the front paw print extends down enough for a raccoon - too many philanges for an opossum) But I think 2 of these, whatever they are.

2) Fox
3) Some sort of bird (toes on some look too short to be chicken.)
4) Looks like at least one set of your hen tracks.

I really wanted it to be an opossum, as you mentioned fruit thieving wildlife, and 'possums are notorious for that. Much rather an opossum around than a raccoon, any day!
I was thinking the bird could be a wild turkey. 🤷‍♂️
