Missing chickens

[spraguegretchen]

So sometime last evening before shut in 4 chickens went missing. When I went calling one came out of the hedgerow. I sound a few feathers from one other. 2 have just vanished, no signs. Thoughts on what might have done this?

Probably a fox. Or a coyote, or a neighbor's dog, or a raccoon, or a bobcat, or a bad neighbor.

Fox is my first thought...

I was thinking fox or coyote as well....
