Predator ate only the meat of the neck, leaving the head attached via trachea and spinal column. I assume that this couldn't have been done by the rest of the flock. 6 year old bantam rooster been with the flock for 5 years. The rest of the hens are full size or half bantam, between 1-2 years old, raised from eggs. Watched the roo successfully fight off a hawk from the kitchen window before I could run out and intervene when he was 2.5 years old. I've seen fox(takes whole bird) and racoon kills before and they were not like this.
