This is interesting. Recently, on two different ocassions, Marlin found a headless chicken in a nestbox. Our chicken house is on a wagon. We stand on the wagon hitch to lift the flap and reach into the nest box to gather eggs. In the one case he saw blood on the outside of the flap. We have been trying to figure out if a fox could/would climb up and reach in. (We know foxes are around and have eaten some chickens and a neighbor's duck outside of the electra-net fence.) Could an owl, hawk, or weasel lift a plywood flap?

Are you sure you have raccoons and not weasels? Weasels like to bite
the heads off chickens and leave the rest behind. They will also
slaughter indiscriminately.
