What predator leaves a pile of feathers?

[mamaharper]

My chickens free range during the day. I usually only let my grown chickens out without supervision but I have some young pullets that I have been letting free range so I could get all the chickens uses to each other. I will go in and out to check on them, so I thought everything would be fine. Well I cam outside to find a pile of feathers and just a few tiny bones and the beak of my favorite chicken. this was during the day. Anyone have an idea of what could have got her? I know we have raccoons and hawks, but I don't think that's what it was.

I literally watched a coyote steal one of my chickens, tried to chase it away i was too late. Found a big pile of feathers later

Thank you. Unfortunately there's no way to get rid of all the neighbor cats
