Something from my other Post:
And then me and my Friend noticed a pile of feathers in a circle, the same color as the older Chick
The feathers were found in the woods, Pretty close to the Coop.


REASONS WHY I THINK ITS A HAWK
Our first guess was a Hawk, because the Chickens would always look up by the Trees and make this Sound

- The Chickens (The Roosters, Mostly. I think the Hens may have done it a couple times) will make the Sound, Like a Warning Sound. Then they will stop whatever they are doing (All o them) and Perk their heads up, then a couple seconds later. Go back to whatever they were doing (This mostly happens when they are by the Coop, Eating)

- Our dogs were looking up the trees, as there was a Hawk or something

- feathers were in a pile, as i a Hawk came own an just grabbe it

- feathers were not scattere out


REASONS WHY I THINK ITS A FOX
Our 2n Choice, or many Reasons

- Chickens are isapearing too ast,

How big are your chickens? A chicken will try to get away from a hawk, which would lead to feathers being scattered. If a fox grabbed your chickens, it's more like a sudden death due to how small a chicken is compared to a fox. A fox can put a whole chicken in it's mouth, and carry it away. Also, a hawk usually doesn't repeat a attack that often. not only that, the chickens would be terrified if they seen a hawk attack multiple times, and would learn very quick to run or hide every time they seen one
