Just a little while ago my friend/neighbor wanted some chickens, well, he had a shed. So me and him made a pretty decent chicken coop. After we got it finished, of course he wanted chickens right away. So I had sold him 4 chickens, 2 gold laced polish/rhode island reds, 1 black sex link hen, and a Black sex link Rooster. All together I told him 10 dollars was fine. I didn't want them. I wanted to purify the flock to one breed. That's why he got them for so cheap. Well today, all of his chickens were attacked by an unknown predator, 2 were found dead: the sex link hen, and one of the gold laced reds. And the other gold laced polish/rhode island red wasn't able to move, so I had to kill it. The rooster is able to walk but he is in very bad condition. The pictures you will see are the ones of what had been killed by the predator. The suspects are either a Schnauzer, or a Opossum.

Here is the sex link hen before the tragedy

She was a great layer while I had her. Can you identify the suspect that probably did this?
 
I'm sure a schnauzer could do this sort of thing - they are terriers and gamey and fiesty. I just don't think a dog would bite them that way. I've heard they just kill them(playing?) but don't eat them. Maybe a raccoon - were any carried away or mostly eaten on the spot? How awful.
