I am so upset and confused. I went to check on my turkeys this afternoon and this is what I found. I hadn’t been out to the pasture since last night so I assume this happened sometime last night. I have had turkeys in this same tractor for three years now and this has never happened. It’s just so odd because some of them don’t even have visible wounds and are completely intact. Most look as though their necks are broken and whatever got them completely tore through the chicken wire. For context, I’m located in Arkansas. If anyone has any ideas please help! I’m lost for answers right now. I did move all of this my surviving turkeys to a new pen for the time being.
Edit: It did rain last night so that is why they appear wet, my living turkeys weren’t wet because they were able to get under the covered part of the tractor.

I live close to Murfreesboro and have had a similar experience... sadly.. Checked my security cameras and two dogs were responsible...so sorry
 
That is more than likely dogs.

Have you checked for any visible tracks. It looks all grassy, so probably not easy to find any tracks, but there may be places if you look well enough.
