My predator-proof run failed in one night last month

I built what I thought was a fortress out of hardware cloth and welded wire. Used 1/4 inch mesh on the bottom, buried it 8 inches deep. Something got in anyway and killed three of my hens. Found a spot where a raccoon had pried the corner seam apart where two sections met. Hadn't stapled it close enough together. Anyone else had a smart predator work around their setup?

Was it a single weasel that kept coming back or did they just find that one dime sized gap and that was it for the night?

I mean my neighbor lost a whole flock to a weasel that got through a dime sized hole in the roof.
