Please check out the predator threads for advice and suggestions in adapting your coop and runs to be predator proof. Consider the use of electrified fencing to keep the bad guys out. Everything loves(to eat) chicken, sad to say.

I'm so sorry you lost your whole flock. That must have been so heartbreaking, especially after you just discovered a new appreciation for them. Free ranging will always come with a risk and some loss is to be expected at some point, but... wow. I still hope you'll give chickens another try. This article may help give you some ideas to try in the future:
