We have raccoons, owls, hawks and crows where I am. At my in-laws, I saw coyotes and foxes, but I haven't seen any at our house. We have a pair of owls that live in our woods, and a pair of hawks. The crows only stick around because of our pond. The rooster attacks the crows more than the crows attack the chickens. He is a VERY protective roo. The owls and hawks haven't caused a problem, just the coons. But, I have a Dingo that keeps them away. He chased a coon into the woods a few months ago and it hasn't been back.
There is something to say about a having a great dog around your flock. I think it helps having a good rooster too.
