How do I safely free range my girls?

I’ve got a flock of 11 hens. I can tell they are so much happier when I let them free roam outside their run. I would love to free roam them full time during the day but we have turkey vultures, hawks, raccoons, coyotes, and some barn cats. Should I get them a rooster or are there other options?
