Possible Predator - Feather Identification

[cluckingheck]

Anybody know what these belong to? It looks like feathers from under fluff or from near the legs and I highly doubt it’s from any of my chickens. The ones that are that color don’t have spotted feathers.

It's hard to tell, wing feathers are easier to identify, but considering the size and the spots I would guess owl.

Yeah…it would make sense. Those were the only feathers I found. Coupling it with one of my broody hen’s chicks disappearing without a trace at dusk before we got her pen ready, it probably is.
