Yesterday my dad found a possum head in our yard and I'1000 wondering what killed it and is it a threat to my chickens. 3 of my chickens have died recently and I thought my flock turned cannibalistic. My chicken that died was practically nothing left of him. My second one had a piffling bit of her insides eaten and my last 1 had a severe back injury that died in surgery because she kept waking upwards and then they had to go along giving her anesthetic and eventually her centre stopped beating during surgery 
All of them were found during the day and I found tufts of fur that was yellowish snagged on my fence. Where I live nosotros mainly accept possums, raccoons and cats. The rarer predators we have are foxes, coyotes, and bobcats ( though I have been told there are weasels out here but I dubiety it ). And the main aerial predators are falcons, hawks, and owls.

Most likely raccoon or one of your "rarer" predators. They could all do that.
An owl volition decapitate but would unlikely exist able to carry the possum carcass off unless it was the great horned multifariousness.
