So these bald eagles were actively hunting, diving at your chickens or simply flying over your property?
You do know that bald eagles aren't a threat to your chickens, don't you? Their primary diet is fish and they primarily hunt for fish. That's why you mainly see them around waterways and not in the middle of the desert. They are great scavengers, though, and will eat literally anything that is dead....I once saw 10 feasting on a huge swollen up dead feral pig in a field......I wish I had a camera...it was fascinating to watch.
To the ppl who believe bald eagles actually swoop down and take chickens I say this..... prove it. Where is the documentation that says bald eagles hunt chickens?
I've lived on the St. Francis River in southeastern MO for 16+ years with many bald eagles - my chickens free range and not once has a baldie went after a chicken.
Lol that's good to know. My part of tx. We don't have any.
