Dead chicken

[lesgo54]

Ok, i need help identifying what got one of my chickens. Whatever it was did it in the day time. It ate the head and most of the neck. Also most of the feathers were pulled from its back but nothing had been eaten.

Do you have a dog?

 

[spangledcornish]

if they are free ranging could be a hawk

I also would have guessed dog.

Raptors generally start with the breast.

 

[lesgo54]

No dogs that i know of. Most likelymamhawk. The birds were free ranging. Im thinking it was a fox.

I set the live trap and caught a opossum. He will not be back ever again.

If there was one there could be a family of them

Was probably a hawk....possums eat from the rear end, dog probably wouldn't have eaten any of it and fox would have taken the whole carcass away.

Bird of pray, sorry for your loss.
