So sorry to hear this. How large a flock? It could well be a raccoon. What sort of injuries do they have? (that is a sign of which type of predator)

Woodchuck would not bother your chickens. Sounds like a dog to me. Sorry about your chix. I have three dogs that watch my flock, so far I have not lost anything to a pred. Maybe just luck, have seen fox walk by on the other side of fence so I think the dogs keep them at bay.
