This rooster was killed from outside the pen,no other chickens were harmed. Head is missing, vent is as you see in the picture. thinking maybe a coon.i have a trap set using the rooster's body for bait.i'll let you know if i catch the killer.

Looks similar to my kills today and yesterday - done by a hawk. Do you have a top on your pen? If so, probably coon.

Looks like a typical racoon killing. So sorry for your loss. It WILL be back....

hate to disagree with you all on the coon.....in my experience most of the time a coon will take it with them,,,,just eating the head & ripping into the guts is a little odd really.. a mink or weasel will just eat the head,,maybe some of the organs,,an tom cats will do it..i would set some steel traps around it & if when it returns ..you will know for sure.! i have so much trouble with varmints {since my great pyrenees died } i'm going to buy a trail camera to set up....i set 5 traps every day....31 possums..3 coons- 1 ground hog....& lots of cats..since july..
