I just look inside the coop which is a huge dog house. It is solid wood and like you it only has the hole for the cord but a predator couldn't squeeze a chicken through that hole! It is difficult to count the chickens when they are in as the house sits on the ground and I would have to kneel on the wet muddy ground to really be able to see. The door was still locked when I let them out this morning. I did look at them several times yesterday and they seemed to be all there. I think they were all there too when I fed the scratch about an hour before they went in their house. There is no sign of a predator or any feathers. I walked my entire property today. I have an acre.
This is the first time I have lost chickens this year except for the fiasco with the cat getting my blind rooster.
