Lost baby

[BackyardinWales]

I lost a baby this morning. His head was missing. Was this his siblings after death, or something else had it?

Sorry, I'm still in some shock.

Hi, I'm so sorry. It was a predator, could be an owl.

A baby chicken...how old, in weeks?
Where was this chicken when it was decapitated...in a secure coop, out ranging, or???

He was almost 9 weeks old, and was in his coop, enclosed run with his 3 siblings and apparently his big sister (teenager). People around me think it was possibly a rat, as there was no way a fox or cat could get into the enclosure.

Getting past the shock now, it's part of life. I'd called him Worf. But it was special.

That would be my guess too.
