The first time I looked at it, I saw a rodent of some sort, with a furry tail (like a weasel) looking back and to the left with the piece of grass under its ear, looking like it's actually through its ear. When I looked again, I saw a bird looking to the right with the grass in its beak, and the tail looked like it was "split" - with one longer feather pointing one way, and one pointing the other.
Around here, weasels aren't big enough to make off with a chicken. They kill them where they sleep, biting them on the neck or under the wing and then lapping up the blood That's what happened to my flock. It killed 12 6-week old chickens in one night.They are also turn white in the winter here. A mink, however, will make off with a full grown chicken. My neighbor had that experience. Our weasels don't get any longer that 8" or so, and they are tiny. Skinny. They can get through the smallest opening.
