Lost two birds and I'm not sure what animals did this. Please help so I can protect my flock

Lost two chickens out of the front yard yesterday. It was around dusk but still light out. I found feathers from whatever animal it was in multiple piles but the feathers were from the birds in the coop the two birds missing are my silver laced polish a really small bird and my rooster. Now what's weird is the feathers are not from them but from the other birds and they appear fine. Also I have a hurt duck that is limping but I think she might have pulled something as she has full movement of her leg so she's in a cage right now to give her some space. The birds were free range and just outside the front door maybe a hundred yards from the house. Any clue on what animals might have done this.

Here's a neat little app you might try. You enter the particular circumstances and it gives you possibilities of predators to narrow down, depending on what's in your area.
