Shame to lose birds. We have issues with Hawks and foxes. We just always are adding to the flock now.
You should try again. And if you can get an electric fence and a rooster as protection for the hens.

I once tried to procure a domesticated silver fox from a guy named Nikolai, the director of the Russian Academy of Sciences at the time…
He did not respond to my email(s)…
But I digress…
I look forward to raising chickens again.
