Hawks and owls gave us the most problems, but still weren't too bad.
I can't speak for Virginia but the hawks, owls, and eagles here in the NW are amazingly aggressive. They are well known for snatching small dogs, cats, chickens, geese, baby goats, and very large fish. One time I even saw the remains of a fawn in a tree (eww...).
However our worst chicken PITAes on the old farm had always been raccoons, opossum, and roof rats.
Skunks have remained my worst problem for the chickens.
We have every chicken predator know to man in these parts, but I've been pretty lucky so far.
And my wife wanted a Llama soooo bad, she even had the name picked out ( "Larry the llama"......you'd think my wife was like seven years old sometimes! ).

I couldn't imagine why squirrels would bother chickens. I'd never heard of a roof rat. Spent a few minutes just now with wikipedia and rats and am feeling kinda icky.
