If you keep them in an enclosed chicken coop made of chicken wire with a roof and everything and a locked door, they should be safe. There are a few thtings you need to consider though, is the chicken coop close to other livestock if so they could be in more danger then if they were closer to you, if the are close to your house then they are pretty safe if coyotes are your problem, and the chicken coop is close to your house then you shouldn't have a problem, they're more scared of you than they are of you I promise. If cougars or bears or even wolves are the predators then you might want to invest in some large guard dogs. I've grown up around livestock but the predators around us were coyotes so I can't excacty give advice for any other predators. Be careful of hawks and eagles though, they're pretty much everywhere and they are dangerous to small birds and livestock. Keep the coop close to your house or away from the woods, if they absolutly must be away from your house, guard dogs are some good investments. Keep the birds in your sight if you can during the day and you probably want to let them out of the coop once a day so they may get excercise. Keep watch on them but again beware of hawks and eagles. I can't help with bears,wolves, or anything like that, Hogs may be bad news but they need to be trapped, snakes are bad in the summer. If you are still unsure contact someone that you knows keeps chickens.
