We recently got a silkie rooster to breed with our little silkie pullet. Today we went on a walk and when we got back we passed the chicken coop and all the chickens were huddled around the back off the coop and when we went to investigate we found the roosters body, without any head. He had been dead for about an hour. We asked our neighbour if he heard anything and he said that about an hour and a half ago he heard some barking on the road next to our chicken coop. The fence we have up is about two meters high and we could not see anything to say something had dug in under the fence. We believe that it might have been a buzzard that flew in, or a dog somehow scaled the fence and got out again. We were halfway through putting netting over the roof of the coop so this was just very bad timing.
Does anyone know what takes heads but leaves the body intact?
