I never heard that about weasels, but we dont' really have them here (we do have minks, which are close cousins!) so it's not really a topic around my chickeny friends. huh! learn something new every day here on BYC!
Possums, (ok, opossums) will eat the guts out of em that way... not sure what's most prevelant in your area though. Raccoons will usually eat more of the meat. All this is 'usually' though, so ... hard to say.
Were there any tracks? Depending on what the ground is like outside your coop, you could take a collander or flour sifter and sprinkle a thin coating of flour all around your coop, then look for tracks the next morning. The culprit might return to the scene of the crime!
