Coyote pack on 10 acres just south of B’ham

I would say that it would be a mink. Had a couple guy at work and a neighbor that had chickens and a mink got in and killed the chickens by doing what you said and only carried one off and ate it the 1st nigh and then came back a few nights later and finished the rest of the chickens off. They didn't need a very big hole to get through.

We've had racoons do what you described. They find a way into the hen house and if the chickens start to carry on, they kill everything in sight. Coons don't usually kill like this, but when they are whipped into a frenzy they just kill. They don't eat, only kill when this happens.
We lost nine one night, six another and the neighbor lost twenty or so. I was never able to trap or kill them, only got them on trail cam.

Thats interesting, I didn’t know that about coons. Thanks for sharing.
 
had a racoon get some of our chickens one night.
Few weeks later a possum got in the coop and got a couple more chickens.
Its easy to put a trap out and bait them in.

First year we had chickens we had some dogs get in and kill 26 of our chickens.
Trapping and Hot Lead fixes this issue.
