*Graphic* Dead chicken & 2 missing, graphic photo.

I recently went out to my coop an hour after letting out my chickens to free range, I found one of them dead and I've been searching all day and I cannot find 2 of my chickens. I cannot figure out what happened. We have all kind of predators here in michigan, and recently we've heard coyotes very close at night. Please help identify what killed my chicken, thank you.

To me it looks like a hawk kill. Hopefully the two missing birds are just hiding and will return this evening.

Either a hawk, or minx.

That's definitely NOT a coyote kill.

Sorry for your loss. Looks like a hawk. Hopefully your two chickens will return. Crossing fingers.

I say it was a hawk kill. I am sorry for your loss, and hope the two missing birds I simply hiding somewhere, safe.

I apologize for not responding to everyone earlier, but those 2 missing hens did eventually show up, so I would have to agree with you all on the hawk. Appreciate the help!
