I haven’t ever seen a a coyote be caught in a live trap but I don’t use those personally
Get some snares and boil them and then set them up around the avenues of approach with gloves on. That may very well be a bobcat or fox. I don’t know if you have actually seen the culprit but in my experience fox and bobcats seem to be the problem with chickens more than coyotes. However I do not keep chickens but I do trap extensively for predators with leg hold and snare traps.

Tip 1 don't use snares or leg holds unless you are a looong way from neighbors with dogs and cats. Not having anymore info than what's given, look on interwebs for trapping how to, to much info to even try to get on a format like this. Also look into "predator night eyes" and electric on your perimeter fence, we use both on the sons poultry operation and it's very effective, with those and a good yard dog the losses are kept very low.

Hey man - I live in HC as well. Diamond Oaks. I've seen a coyote up here just off 377 and Glenview. A few years ago we trapped a fox that was living under our neighbors shed. I've never heard of a coyote being caught in a live trap either, so not much help there.
I think the pellet gun might be the best option. Animal Control might also be of some assistance (maybe? probably doubtful.). I dunno. Good luck.
