This is our setup , we have 10 hens in it, combines a house and a protected run, I will never say that a predator can not get in, but they would have to be very motivated

Raccoons and snakes are probably the critter you need to plan for the most. Not saying they are the public enemy number 1, but if you raccoon/ snake proof the run, you will block out most other critters.

Have a buddy that has a fenced in area with horse fence as the material around the run. Raccoons reached in and grabbed one of the chickens and tore its leg off and eventually dragged it out of a hole somewhere. Raccoons and coyotes will dig under the run if they're given enough time without a nearby deterrent.
