If it's not bobcat, racoon, or coyote, it's owls. This Great Horned is particularly persistent. He's gotten at least 6 over the last month. I've had to keep them locked up 24/7 since then.

This same owl managed to get into the run through an automatic door (before I had them on lockdown). Four minutes after entering the run, the door shut behind him, trapping him for 4 hours. He killed one bird, and then spent the next four hours trying to get out.
He rammed the person door four times until the latch finally gave way and he got out.
