What would do this.. [Pics added - VERY GRAPHIC]

[ksct]

I agree that it could be a racoon but looks more like a fox, coyote, coy dog etc. they would eat all that. however I don't know if they leave all the bone. Sadly something could have gotten it, eaten what it wanted and something else could have gotten it. (ie i'm sure what originally took your bird is not what took the carcass)
I'm soooooo sorry for your loss. Posts like these are exactly what keep me from letting ours free range. we're in upstate NY and we have just about every type of animal you can imagine. from small foxes to big cats and bears. Good luck trapping and relocating. That's the route i would take as well. DH, not so much. Plese keep us updated if you catch what you have.
We have a 'deer camera' we purchased off ebay for rather inexpensive. perhaps you could look into something like that and put it up somewhere around the coop. That way you'd know what kind of creatures you've got in your area. just an idea if you don't mind spending the money.
again i'm sorry for your loss

It could have been anything that killed it. Even if a wasteful predator, like a coon, killed it, a scavenger (like a possum) may have come and picked the bones. If you trap it, please humanely euthanize it.

Due to the ways it's up on that stump would rule out a fox or coyote. A canine would generally eat the bones, too.

A cat will usually drag its prey under something or up onto an elevated position.

An opossum usually just eats things where they find it.

A hawk or owl may take the bird off somewhere but would eat it on the ground or up in a tree, not that small stump.

A coon would usually take it off several feet and eat it, and may come back the next day to finish up the scraps if nothing else presents itself the next day. They will also pick the bones clean initially.

Judging by the way the carcass is picked I would say a cat or a coon.

Sorry for your loss.

Again you folks that advocate relocating, please dont. If your conscience won't let you dispose of a predator, just let it be. Dont pass your problem on to someone else.

Thank you all for the responses. Im not turning into a relocate or kill it thread. I just wanted some answers on what you folks thought it might have been. Im leaning very much twords a Fox. We have seen them thru the years in our area but not recently. My girls usually stay close & this was very close tothe house. They will all be locked up by the end of this week. Once again, thank you to everyone who gave their input.

You have a wesel or some smaller animal. Raccoon, fox, or Coyote would have eaten the bones too. Fox or Coyote would have carried it off. You had something small eat the meat off the bones. Wesel or mink or something small. very sorry for the loss.
