I went to collect eggs and I saw my EE rooster's tailfeathers outside my barn to the south. I followed his feathers to a pile of feathers, where he had died. No body. I was looking for all my chickens so I could put them all in the coop when I found a feather trail leading to a humungous clump of new hampshire feathers. I was especially mad because these were 2 of my 3 favorite chickens. I am NOT letting those chickens free range until I kill the fox that did it. And I had to hurt one of them putting it in. It was my GLW. It would not go in and it kept on running around. I ran out of options and grabbed its wing and pulled it towards me. It probably hates me, but not one of them realized they are all endangered every second they're outside the coop. I got the VERY uncooperative chickens in and then my GREAT waterfowl just went right in with no problem. I just warned my neighbors about this problem too. Hopefully their flock hasn't been attacked like mine.
I had a fox recently take 7 of my chickens in the middle of the day, including my favorite barred rock, and she was due to lay anyday. :/ that definitely sounds like fox, with just piles of feathers :/ I also had to cut my chickens off from free ranging. They aren't happy about it, but we have to protect our girls.
