    1. Not unless the stars were perfectly aligned, meaning a LGD to keep them safe.

      My Bluemone farm was in a high predator area...I never had an issue at night because my set up was fortified. The problems were during the day. Chickens (at least mine) hate to be caged and I haven't seen a tractor set up that really provide a for the chickens needs while being easy to move and predator proof.

      I lost all my chickens during the day to a fox (possibly coyote) twice. I'm a sucker and after so much pacing and squawking I let them out. Tried the radio trick, only out for a couple hour a trick, fenced in area trick...between hawks and ground predators it wasn't feasible for me to continue to have chickens because I couldn't safely provide for their needs.

      So to answer your question...potentially.
