Fox usually take my chickens one per day and leave no evidence besides a few feathers at the capture site.

Last summer I heard my neighbor's chicken making a lot of noise. As I was listening to it die down a Fox came running thru my yard with a chicken in its mouth. It seen me and dropped the chicken and took off. I went to get a trail cam to see when or if it would come back. By the time I got back she had come back and grabbed it. Over the next week I seen her come threw the yard 2 more times. This Fox had it figured out, grab one and go. She had a den under the road about 1/4 mile from my house. I got to watch the pups grow up. Im on a dead end road so everyday I came home from work the pups would be on the road. Lots of entertainment. I would shoot rabbits in the yard and leave them lay and she would come get them every night.
I say it was the dog.
If its a dog the chickens will have holes in the back. As me how I know.

I had a red fox climb a 6’ Fence and kill 28 of 30 chickens, caught him the next night inside the fence. A lot of the time what is caught at the site of a poultry massacre is not what actually did the massacre, but something that heard or smelled it and showed up later for a meal. There's lots of opossums and skunks, including very small ones, that obviously could not have committed the slaughter, that will get trapped at a poultry massacre site for up to a week after it. A lot of other predators will show up too. The nearly irresistible urge in most predators to investigate the sounds of dying prey is why predator calls work so well. Keith

I broke my German Shephard of it. Any chicken that got in the yard was dead and no mater what I tried she did not catch on and was still proud walking up with chicken wings hanging out of her mouth. As a last resort I tied a chicken she killed to her collar for several days. Now a chicken can safely walk between her legs.

Growing up on the farm I had a dog that liked to kill a chicken now and then.My Dad took one of the chickens that had been dead for a few days and threw it in a metal barrel.THEN,,he put the dog in the barrel with it and put the lid and barrel band on.He then rolled barrel down a pretty good hill.For some reason,the dog wanted nothing to do with the chickens any more.
