Something killed 2 of my chickens well I was gone! What was it?

[BlueO]

Hello! So this week I was gone for thanksgiving and I just got home to find 2 of my chickens are missing! My chickens are free ranged and I know that predators will be around but I wondering if you guys might know what did it? I found a few clumps of feathers by the coop and some fox or coyote tracks all around, but that’s not uncommon here. I was planning on waiting somewhere where I can see the coop around morning and evening to see if I can find what the problem is and end it. Anyway dose anyone have an idea of what did it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

We need pics of everything before we can make any accusations. That said, if you are seeing coyotes or foxes, then most likely its one of them. It could be just about anything with the given description. The best way to find out is to set a couple foot holds and bait them with whatever's left if the dead birds.

A game camera could help.

Ok I’ll try to get some pictures tomorrow.
