What would eat your baby ducklings in a cage?

[Duck obsessed]

We had 4 baby ducklings in a cage, we go out this morning to check on them and all of their heads are pulled out of the cage where it looks like someone has ate on their necks and head? We looked to see if anyone thing could have got in their cage, and it doesn’t look like nothing could! So what could have done this? Here’s a picture of 2 of them! I know it’s bad but I wanted people to see what I was talking about! But the thing is, they’ve been outside in the cage for about 3 weeks.

My guess is a raccoon. Same thing happened to my turkeys.

Whatever it is, it’s going to come back for the rest

I've heard of possums doing this. Snatch a bird through the fence to eat head and as much as they can past that. Do you have a little outdoor blink style camera? I've seen predator fencing sections on Amazon as well

I am also very sorry for your loss and in such a graphic way
