This night, at 2:15 Am I heard dramatic scream of my chicken.
She was sleeping on a tree 5 feet away from my Living Room window.
(stubborn chicken, doesn't want to go to coop).
I opened window, Flashed light, but not much else I could do at dark.
On a morning I went searching for clues....Found small trail of scattered feathers,
Followed them...Dead chicken was about 100 feet away in woods with Head eaten and some of bottom.
Then I found these Foot Prints as on posted picture.
Can someone tell me what predator that is?
I was researching/comparing and it leads me to either Marten Cat or Raccoon.
What you think?
