We lock ours up each night, and they stay in once we've got snow on the ground too.
We had a mink in our coop once. Someone thought the cages were cruelty to animals and let several hundred mink loose. They wandered around several counties. Of course most of them died out there. Cruelty? But the one in our chicken coop killed about 30 chickens. He just wanted the blood. Didn't eat the rest. Then when it got cold, he decided to come into my basement. I called a mink person and we live trapped it.
