Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome and the links and recommendations. I'll be sure to check them out.

Shadrach, it depends upon who you ask. The neighbor says it was a coyote or a fox. We never even heard the commotion which is odd. Whatever it was took all but one carcass and the two surviving girls were loose and hiding in the woods when we found them the next morning. The carcass was laying in the middle of the coop. So whatever did it was able to get into the run and then through the 1 square foot doorway into the coop. Blood and feathers were all over the chicken yard. We do have a lot of raccoons to deal with here and you see more dead coyotes on the roads than you do deer, but I really don't know. The neighbor thinks a coyote could have squeezed into that doorway but I think a coyote would have tore up the coop a lot worse than it was.

So your coop is now predator proof (?) There are a number of articles here on BYC on how to make your coop secure.
