Sorry to hear that.
It's hard to know for sure but raccoons do enjoy heads.

So sorry for your losses. When I find one without a head it's been the fox, and it usually comes back the next night for the rest of the body.

What about the other one that is missing? Do you think they would also, take a whole duck. There are feathers everywhere.

Taking the whole bird is more indicative of a Fox, Coyote, hawk, or owl.

They will take the whole duck.

I'm so sorry. Do they have a coop where they can spend the night safely, so this doesn't happen to the others?
