I lose a chicken now and then to hawks, even though I have good fences. One of the realities of "free-range." And my chickens DO range all over the 6 acres.
If coyotes could get to them, too, they wouldn't last a week.

the chickens are less than a year old. I bought 50 - my sister ate 10, sold 30 and now I would like to give the rest away.
