What would?

I found a dead chicken this morning, 100 yards from the coop, it seemed fully in tact with the exception of it’s feet were chewed off. Any suggestions on what would have done this? I’ve researched and this seems to be outside of anything listed.

sorry for the circumstances. That is odd indeed. Bottom line is be on guard as most likely the predator will return.

So sorry about your loss. If you have a game camera, put it up. Most likely the predator has been lurking and will be back and then you will know what you're dealing with. Good luck...
