The chickens are gone, with lots of feathers in the coop but no bodies. It didn’t kill all my chickens but I had not shut the door that night. This happened about a year ago and again, the animal pooped up in the roosting area – I thought there might be an animal who’s known to poop where they had been killing? (I can’t imagine a dog removing all the bodies OR pooping in the chicken coop.)

Foxes are real cheeky – sounds like just the thing they would do.
If you have coyotes in your area, they would be my first suspect.
Are you sure it isn’t CHICKEN POOP?
Ooooh, maybe it’s a human. (I don’t know, are you near a college? Sounds like a pretty excellent prank– breaking into a chicken coop, stealing the chickens, then pooping in the coop…)
maybe a cat
maybe a snake
Either a fox, dog, cat, weasel, or etc, but it’s hard to know if you can’t describe what the poop looked like or how large it was.
