bald eagles preditors?

[bj taylor]

i'm anxiously awaiting my first chicks first wk in feb. yesterday i saw a pair of bald eagles fly over low. never seen them here before in all my years. wondering if they're potential predator threat.

They would love to taste your little chicken kibbles.

I personaly only seen bald eagles flying very high and never had prob with them... I heard most of there diet is fish the prob wont attack chickens unless there desperate. You should always keep an eye out to be on safe side.

Their primary diet is fish and carrion and they will eat live chickens.

Yes they could be a issue

Absolutely they are a threat to your chickens. We have a mated pair locally here that come sit in my trees and stare at my birds, and then glare at me for not letting them out of their covered runs. There was a story in our local paper about one of them eating a womans hen right in front of her in her back yard last year...
