Thoughts on what predator killed my chicken? Graphic photos

Those Raccoons are really wasteful and make a mess. Your picture was for sure one of two things- a Raccoon or a Fox that you caught in the act (because otherwise he'd have taken the bird). Raccoons sometimes it seems kill them for sport- they only eat the yummy head, neck and gizzard. Very wasteful. The only good thing is they leave the body behind which is a sure giveaway of who your predator is if you can rule out hawks/owls which do almost the exact same type of kill (the main difference is they don't do as much defeatering, usually)...

Make sure to take him more than 5 miles away or he'll be back in no time.

It's ten miles from here. It's a gun range, no house near it. It is 25 acres. There's a range, a pond, a swamp, etc. The little demon will get lost over there lol. I'm sure more will be back, so right now my focus is trying to fortify their pens and coop.
