Snowwing
Chirping
Recently I had an attack that killed my chicken. I do not have pictures but here I will list the things I saw- I need help IDing the predator.
- Killed between 2:00 am - 4:00 am at night.
- She was dragged off to the side of the run
- there were a lot of feathers everywhere within 4 feet of her body
- Legs, Wings and other meaty parts are intact
- Head was missing (eaten?)
- Her back looked like it was ripped off and her entrails were eaten. Every internal organ was missing (presumably eaten) except for her ovaries. (There was still a fully formed yolk inside her when I found her.)
- A small (2 inches maybe) chunk of her intestines were outside of her body
I’m thinking maybe a raccoon or owl?
