Turns out a raccoon most likely made off with four of our hens the other night. Since weasels can get in through holes suitable for mice, I was glad to re-frame my coop protection plan from absolutely air-tight to a craftsmanship more realistic of my hands. 
Got the electricity working for our fence, and a sliding door for entry and exit into the green fields of yonder. My advice for coop building remains the same: go visit a chicken-lover’s home if possible. Plans abound on the internet, but the personal stories of do’s and don’ts are not to be missed.
