6 -- year old hens were let out of secure coop this morning early when fed as usual. Found 1 Rhode Island Red hen dead in yard this afternoon. All intact but feathers and skin stripped to bone all around entire neck. No tracks or loose feathers of any kind. Hens run around in quite a large fenced in yard, triple fenced at bottom. Never had a predator problem in those yards before. They run with elderly Emden goose and 6 Saxony ducks.
Any ideas of what could do this, leaving no trace? Thanks. We live in rural central Pa.
