wow!! I would have sacrificed a chicken gladly to see a bald eagle catch it...they are incredible birds! lol

I also had one swoop down right behind me and grab one of my young cochins. My dog tried to jump up and grab him. It took me a second to realize what it had a hold of, because it grabbed from behind and then flew right over my head. Then I turned around and noticed my Cochin missing. That's the only two times I've ever had problems with a eagle. Usually it's the hawks causing problems.

also i forgot to mention were hatched in March

She may still molt it out, no way to know til she gets older...

I can still picture Dexter waddling down the road all bright and confident, ready to eat breakfast...lol

Well, he was bright (wide) eyed and waddling fast, lol... his confidence took a hit though, but I prefer his more cautious attitude now...

If he is really a Dexter, the owl is probably in chunks in garbage bags at the bottom of a body of water.

I never even thought of that show when I named him!

I had a bald eagle swoop down and grab one of my hens last year. The neighbor dog startled it and it dropped her. She had a few really deep puncture wounds, but lived.

Ouch! Dex had a few broken pin feathers and some scrapes... think he damaged an air sac too, his quack had a funny sound for a few days, but it got better, luckily...

Am super glad we have a regular patrol of turkey vultures over our place, it keeps the hawks down the valley instead...
