Our ducks are gone :( - video added

I woke up this morning and our two pekin ducks are missing. They aren't enclosed but they never leave their part of the yard. They never even cross the driveway! I know they didn't wander off. I know there are coyotes and things but I never worried much because there is a pheasant that hangs out by us and nothing ever goes after it. I've never seen raccoons or anything here. I can hear coyotes but I've never seen them. 2 of my pullets are also missing. I saw 2 of them outside the pen this morning and I put them back and they got back out so I don't know if the other 2 just wandered off or what but I don't see them anywhere.

Yesterday I came home at 5:30 and the egg box had been tampered with. I had a tarp hanging over it and it was pushed up like someone had been in the coop and there were no eggs.

and now I caught my dog with a chicken foot :( No sign at all of the ducks though. The most unhelpful thing anyone said to me today? "Well, you knew there was a chance this could happen... that's life on a farm"
