Daughter has 11 . Used to be 13. One was killed by a hawk while out of the coop for "free range" time. There are also fox in the area. Probably in your area too, but you don't see them. The other died from "old age." 5 years old. They don't have long lives.

But ---

Raccoons are in your area. The caged area in her yard is now a "cube." There are claw marks on the sides of the coop where raccoons climb up to gain entrance. If they gain entrance, they kill everything in the coop.
