I would call animal control right now, do not let this go without a record of it. Even in Ca I can kill a dog if it is chasing my chickens.

I lost one duck few days ago and other was damaged, but will survive.
Like i already say i have the ducks free to move in big backyard that is somehow growing on it own, bushes, big grass and stuff like that, so lots of palce for them to hide.
But the duck that got killed was killed in same way like the OP detailed. Lots of feather lost, and under neck missing some meat, but there was no blood at all, nowhere to see blood. So i m not sure if it was dog. Neigbor have some stupid dog, but he is not so big, and i didnt see him in my backyard and i m not even sure he can get in the backyard. But last year i also lost 2 ducks in almost same way. It is winter here so it may be that some wild predator have come to get some food? Like fox, weasel or something like that?
There are woods behind my backyard and wild predators have seen many times in town.
But will a predator not take the pray? Or is he justd runk a blood and go away? I hear some predators just drink blood. And how come other duck got away injured. Both ducks are wild ducks and small ducks. Bigger ducks are not injured. But we are talking about ducks that are 5 times bigger than this little ducks. Give me some info.
And how come this ducks dont get together and chase predator.
