Weasel.
Dogs leave slobbery mahem.
Racoons the same.
Fox take whats needed at the time.
Fortify your coop run enclosure with 1/4 inch hardware cloth.
Weasels are night time hunters for the most part.
I have learned to live with my weasel (they are territorial, and you will only have one) . They are sometimes referred to as the "Farmers Friend" as one weasel will keep your rodent population in check.
Just check out some of the posts about nightmarish rat infestations, and see what I view as the result of lack of a weasel.
I have a weasel, and a secure coop for my chickens at night. I free range during the day with 3 guardian Dogs on duty. Yes I loose one occasionally, but not to weasel.
My Walk in coop is literally preditor (rodent) proof to everything except a determined bear.
