I am sorry for your loss and a raccoon is very strong I would think that maybe you should put up some kind of welded wirer or hardware cloth instead of netting I am not sure how strong the netting is. The older hens just took advantage of a free snack. I think that since the younger girls where locked out of their run, the did not know where to go. I would be very careful the raccoon will be back you might want to think about getting a trap. Good luck.
Also to add that I have standard and bantam's together also my only rooster is a bantam and mine all get along fine my 3 bantam EE's are even in the top of the pecking order.
