So a few weeks ago found 3 out of our 4 chickens dead. Two were incredibly bloody and the other only it's feet and a few feathers were found. Today found a magpie with only it's feet and feathers which must have happened in the day. What's killing these birds?
 
hau reba7, where in the world are you located? that has a lot to do with type of predators available.

when trying to figure out any whodunit, it helps to have the answers to the questions odmejss mentioned.

Depending on your location, type of evidence left, where it was located, surroundings, tracks found or not found...
all these help others help you.

With what you have stated, the culprit could be lots of different predators; Fox, marten, mink, raccoon, weasel, bobcat, are just the main characters of interest.
of these the fox is more likely to take the body away as is the bobcat, the others are more likely to dine on the spot.
