had one snap his neck in the ceiling fan in the barn. We plucked the poor little sucker. It was snowing feathers for at least a min long after the metal blade wacked it on super high setting..
Supper fell from the sky that day..

HA! I had someone try to lay a copyright claim to one of my youtube videos. It had some background music that changed like 5x during a 2 minute video of my daughter and bulldog, they tried to say they should have the copyright to my video.... I disputed it under the fair claims act, stating background radio music that was 5-10 second sections of random songs on the radio in the background, didn't really count as a copy right infringement. (I looked up the law before disputing.) as soon as I disputed it, they stopped trying to lay claim to my video. I'm pretty sure they just did it because the video had over 5.5 million views, and thought they might make money off me if I didnt dispute their claim that all ad revenue should be theirs off the video....

I'm sorry you lost her. That is not easy when it's one of the favorites. That's what happened to one of my Ayam Cemani's. Nobody saw her outside the fence, next morning she was dead, but not eaten.

About a year ago, we had a rooster in a locked dog cage, just off our porch for one night - he was going to be slaughtered the next day. All we found the next morning was an empty cage and a LINE of feathers, and a dead roo at the end of the line. Mostly eaten. I figure a raccoon is the only animal smart enough to open that cage. Do raccoons actually eat the birds, or do they just kill them? Other than the Hawks, an owl, a baby Opossum, and 1 coyote, I haven't seen any other predators here.

In my experience, with my Silver Spangled Hamburgs...the only thing left by the raccoons was feathers. They broke into the secure shop by breaking the corner of the walk-in door, they knocked the cage down and managed to extract the 6- 6 week old birds though the cage wire. Gruesome. The birds were a couple days from being able to move out of quarantine.

There was a male, female and four babies raccoons. The last baby caught extracted a rat from the other live trap in that shed and ate it before getting caught himself.

That's the cage they pulled the Hamburgs through.
Two of the guilty parties I caught that night/next morning.

Here foxes will take the bodies if there's time. Red foxes have quite a social hierarchy...subordinate females sometimes stay to assist in raising the offspring of the head female. The entire family can make very quick work of a large numbers of the flock if they hit. Usually feathers are what's left. I've also seen the young playing with a chicken body, my original black hen. And pieces like wings and such will show up half a year later in the yard. :( The young are slender and can get in surprisingly small areas.

It appears skunks just make an unholy mess of biting on the chicken, feathers are missing from the head and necks...sometimes the heads eaten off. The last rooster attacked has his head, neck and a part of his breast gone. But I don't know what did it. I baited the traps with honey garlic chicken wings. (Don't laugh) No takers yet.
