I don’t want her to be attacked and it will be only one chicken. I live near coyotes and foxes.
you should get a chicken coop with windows covered in bale wire. The floor should be wood not grass with no floor. Make sure you have a lock on the door and that there are no gaps or spaces that a fox or coyote could get into. this usually worked for my chicken coop.

Yep – a wooden shed with an opening into a yard covered on all sides (roofed too) with chicken wire. Pour concrete all along the bottom of the fence, this will help keep away critters that might dig in…
And for that extra safety, ring the chicken wire part or any weak part with a electric hot-wire… 6inches off the ground and six inches away from the fencing… Best do two or three lines of it, about 6 inches apart, one above the other.
This will keep anything short of a bear from ripping through the chicken wire or trying to dig under it.
