Mostly Foxes, but other animals, like badgers and cats, have been known to prey on chickens. i am talking from personal experience as i recently lost pet chickens to a fox and now cats swarm in our garden thinking we will get more.

Without details I can only offer a guess. Most domestic pets will kill without eating, they don't need to eat the victim as they are usually well fed. Cats will often be the culprit. Weasels are the next best guess and while they will eat a victim then often kill many more than they can eat and take one only. If the entrance they got into to kill the birds is smaller than the victim and they cannot drag it out, they will take a blood meal, kill more and leave. Skunks and possums will kill and leave, sometimes after biting off a choice part like the head.

The most common animal used to protect one's chickens is a canine. Perhaps train an outside dog to be friendly to livestock and hostile towards feral animals.
