Thank you all so much. I didn't mean to sound paranoid but I was sure someone was involved. I have a glass half empty mentality.
Anyway...yes, it was a critter and my faith in humanity may be restored. I communicated with a kind soul on Craigslist who had some chickens for sale. When I explained what happened, he said he would give some to my son, and not only that but his daughter eould pick out some of the most people friendly ones for him (he had raised his from chicks and they really were his pets).
Not happily ever after, but a nice ending.
P.S. he is rebuilding his coop to make it more critter proof.
