Woke up to this pile of feathers in the front yard. From a distance, the pile looked like a pile of leaves but obviously those are feathers.

I live in the eastern Nebraska in the suburbs. We do have neighbors that have backyard chickens so I’m thinking those feathers came from one of them. There’s a family of raccoons living in the sewage very close to this pile. My partner also saw a red fox in our backyard twice recently.

So my questions are:

What is the prey animal? I’m thinking a chicken because I’ve not seen any bird this size and this kind of coloring in the wild.
What animal did this to the prey? Do raccoons kill chickens? Or more likely a fox? I know it’s hard to determine without any evidence like furs or scat.
