The solution to that is simple, put a leghold trap on the perimiter of the cage. As the killer paces around the outside, looking for a way in they get snapped in the trap. You go out at day break and pop it in the head with a .22 short. Move the cage farther down the field and reset trap. Lather, rince, repeat. Dont forget, put 1/4 inch mesh near where you put the trap or the chicken will reach out and get its neck caught. Same if you occationally have chickens fly out, you will catch chickens as they walk the perimeter trying to get back in with the others.
You can do something similar with larger digging killers. Predig or start a hole making it look like the animal can dig into the pen/coop then put a 220 or 330 conibear on the hole. If there is good smell of chicken in/through the hole, the killer wont be able to resist trying to go through the hole dispite the fresh smell of human. Basically you are making a bucket set around the coop or run designed to catch the digging type killers.
Killers that make a habit of comming to the coop every night are the easiest to catch. They are a little harder to get if they wait for the chickens to wander away from the coop to ambush.
