We've lost another hen, and despite all efforts, we have not caught the culprit, so Malachi and I went into secure-the-chickens-like-Ft. Knox-mode.
All openings are now covered in 1/2" hardware cloth (which, despite the name, is not cloth at all, but rather rolls of metal). We also rearranged the perches while we were working on the coop, and the hens and people should be more comfortable now. I am afraid that we are dealing with a weasel. Luckily, no losses the last two nights, but we are certainly still on alert.
And here are a couple of pictures of our cute dogs, just because it's been a while:
