We have never lost any chickens to hawks or owls, but occasionally a fox burros under the fence and steals one.
It's funny with about 6 chickens in an inside 6'x'6 enclosure with access to a 6'x10' outside covered enclosure we were getting about 1/2 a dozen eggs a week. The bottom of the inside door broke and haven't fixed it in 3 months because the chickens are able to get out in the yard through the hose stall and are laying eggs at a rate of about 1 1/2 dozen a week, just being able to peck and scratch at the ground while still safe because the foxes won't get near the horses.
