Describe your coop and run......do you lock them in the coop at night?
Putting your location in your profile will help folks give you advice.

There is no run. They are free ranging at the moment since I cant break ground on a run because the ground is still frozen.
The coop is a professionally built one. No chickens in the coop were destroyed. The first chicken came was found about 10 yards from the coop. My dog found the other one I though got carried off. It was about 15 yards away behind the central air conditioner. Both headless. What their feathers were missing on thier backs. I took pictures but didnt know if it was appropriate to post them

Look for Raccoon tracks. A Raccoon got 4 of mine with the same type of kill.
