I lived on a farm with a small coop and enclosure. It was chain-link fencing, with chicken wire across the top to protect from aerial predators. The chicken wire came 18-24″ down the side of the chain-link, but just had a few points where it was secured.
Well, we had a number of barn cats, and I caught one in the act of eating one of the baby chicks – just outside the fencing. Obviously he climbed the chain-link, under the chicken wire, dropped down inside and grabbed a chick, then climbed back out to eat his catch outside the pen. We promptly secured the chicken wire snugly all around the fencing! So, just a possibility if you happen to have cats around!
