Track ID?

[Lulu-vt]

We went skiing today and came home to a dead chicken outside the coop and run. First, we have no idea how she got out. Totally stumped. She was killed right next to the coop, a pile of feathers and my husband says a lot of her body (I didn’t look very hard).
We have some tracks. I’m wondering if anyone has ideas.
There are no detailed tracks because it snowed slightly.

See if you can blow or brush the loose snow off, but I'd guess coyote m

I don’t think those tracks are detailed enough to give much info but it’s definitely a larger animal, say coyote bobcat or fox. How was the animal killed and what parts were eaten? That can usually give a better clue

Any chance it was a domestic dog? The tracks look large for an animal that didn't take its kill with it.

I’ve never seen a stray dog here and we don’t live in a neighborhood. But it’s possible. I wondered that also.
