Mystery Predator. Can anyone help me identify?

When

WARNING: This post is not for the squeamish.
Will a raccoon eat most of the body as well as the head? I just found my OEG Banty, who was brooding a clutch, eaten. Couldn't find the head, did find the feet with thigh and leg bones, and the spine, and feathers, and the intestines. Two eggs missing, and one live, unhurt, chick, less than a day old, peeping loud enough to be heard 200 feet away. From my books, this doesn't make sense, but I've never had trouble with anything other than dogs, so my pen is dog resistant, but not tight enough otherwise, apparently.

When the coons got my flock, they took everything but legs, wings and feathers

My 9 year old is convinced it was a chupecapra. That's enough tv for you, my dear.

if you see something that looks like a chucacabra-it is a fox with mange.

my experience with coons is once they find out where the chickens are located and start getting meals from said chickens they will not stop coming back. elimination is the only sure fire cure for this problem.

Oh no, not a coon. Buy a 22 and pop that bugger before he gets his friends.

I may have too, there's a confirmed case of rabies (in a Fox) in the county.
