Big cat of unknown breed just killed one of my chickens

I'm sure we do have Lynx down here (actually our metro Orlando bus system is called Lynx) but I just checked google and it was definitely not that. It wasn't quite so bobcat looking. Its hard to exactly remember (I only saw it for 10 seconds max) but the closest thing from memory is that link I posted....Its a real mystery and it is easy to say I am completely disheartened. I was planning on getting baby chicks this fall but I cannot keep feeding the wildlife...

There are no lynx in FL.maybe bobcat?

Correct, the lynx range stops at barely south of the Canadian/US border--there have been reintroduction in NYS's Adirondacks. In C. FL it could be any kind of escaped exotic or just an exceptionally large domestic cat. Check with your local fish and game to see what has been seen in your area.
