Hi and welcome So sorry you lost your chicken.

There is a lot of info here on building predator proof runs and coops and also other ideas on how to deal with predators. Did you try the search tool?
Basically, you need strong hardware cloth, not chicken wire. It needs to be sunk into the ground for at least 6" probably better at 12" and flared outward a the bottom. Good strong racoon-proof locks on all the doors and windows. Hardware cloth covering all windows. Those are just a few suggestions to start with.
