Crossing the Road
My first thought was racoon also, but I would think there would still be some sign of struggle. Strange...break out the trail cam!!

It's happening in January in kentucky it's freezing. It's been a couple years since I seen a snake at winter, and that was after a flash floodNo feathers usually means aerial predator or snake. Everything that walks is sloppy with feathers and blood.
I did just 2 days ago, nothing yet except my neighbor told me a hawk has been getting his, except when mine went missing they was completely locked in my coop, so we could clean our porch and integrate a new rooster (lavender orpington he's gorgeous and I love orpingtons)I would put a game camera up because it will be back and then you will know what you're dealing with.
What I heard was if it was a mother, she'd kill it when they got to the babies and where they could eat safely without getting hurt.A raccoon kill leaves A LOT of Feathers and usually a dead carcass not moved to far away.
My hint might be a long shot.. or impossible.. but the only thing that i can think of having bloodless, trackless, bodyless way of killing is a snake.I had 28 chickens, 1 is with my guineas because he thinks he's a guinea since he grew up with them, the rest was in my dogpen the past few days (I had to move them because of a mink so I've been tying my dog up next to them) but I've lost 3 chickens within a week and 2 in just the past couple days) we have a net above the dog pen with a hole in it, no diggin around the pen, no feathers, no blood, no body. No signs of a struggle. What could it be? My neighbor has the same problem but he let's his free range like I used to.
