Don't forget to shut them in at sundown. Before I gave up free ranging
and built a movable ark thing with an enclosed run, I once forgot: that
night a fox killed the lot.

If fox can get in they don't necessarily wait for the dark hours. We had
lots of chickens killed (not eaten) in broad daylight when we've been
around. Only a very high fox-proof fence stopped it.
