Welcome to BYC, Jen. I'm sorry for the loss of your cochin.

Hi Jen, it's nice to have you here with us! You can post pictures here and we may be able to name some breeds. Or you can post your pictures on this forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/what-breed-or-gender-is-this.15/

Hiya, Jen, and welcome to BYC!

If you want some help to predator-proof your coop, you could post your set-up and we'll try help, or we also have a Predators and Pets forum you could skim through or post in too. Usually, most varments will return once they get the taste.

BTW, we'd love to see a photo of your chickens too! They sound like a great variety!

I tried to post some photos through a Google Drive link

Debbie292d, We let some younger chicks into the run and returned home later than anticipated. Unfortunately, they didn't follow the rest into the coop, and the raccoon pulled them through the wire fence. We are still heartbroken that we made such a costly mistake. I will certainly read through the predator forum to learn more about keeping the flock safe. Thanks for sharing!

Glad to have you here, Jen!

Love your names for them. I do have a Black Betty too. She's a black silkie and the name makes my hubby start singing every time I call her. I was thinking of naming one some wild band song to see if he does that one too, like ACDC's Thunderstruck.
