Hey everyone! I have had chickens for several years and never had an issue until now. This morning I went out to give my ladies a treat and make sure they were all set for the day. I happened to notice out of the corner of my eye what looked like a dead northern flicker in my yard. I went over to remove it and discovered that is was a head from one of my chickens. I went to do a count of my ladies and realized that I was missing another one - 2 in total. I looked everywhere and cannot find any evidence of a struggle....no feathers - nothing just a head. At first I thought it was a coon but they eat the heads and leave the bodies do they not?? I just find it strange that there was no evidence....if I didn't see the head I wouldn't have known until later. Any ideas??
