What killed my chickens?

I was left with 3 chickens from last year because we were having the same problem as now. Last night something went under our fenced in enclosure(leaving a dent in the fence), went in our barn killed a rooster and a hen and dragged them away.The one hen that was left was running all over our yard and leaving feathers so they did try to get her. I am planning to set traps and kill what is doing this but i would like to know what it is first.

    Foxes

    Probably not a weasel because I don't think they are good at dragging large birds. The #1 chicken killer around my area would be raccoon. They are crazy wily. I have also heard that foxes are quite good at digging. I would suggest a Havahart trap or something like that as you might catch someones pet at first. Good luck.

    Probably a fox

    Source(s): Once you catch something, it always ends up being a fox most of the time.

    Probably a dog because they can dig under a fence . I think the dog had rabies thats uncommon for a dog to attack. At a chicken or it was trained ..

    I saw a bunch of KFC employees walking outside your house taking a chicken and now they'll probably turn it into Fried Chicken

    Someone has been choking your chickens, I suspect.
