That's what they said black vultures were doing..attacking a calf in the birth process that is a helpless animal. Not a chicken that can fly away. Ravens are like vultures in that they are scavengers. I want to see a video of them attacking a chicken, or some other small animal in the United States. Neither ravens nor vultures have talons, so the animal would have to be down or weak in some way. It's not a common occurrence or it would be commonly seen, was my point.

I must admit I didn't realize they got in groups and attacked baby calves in the birth process...but then I don't see a lot of baby calves being born or maybe it's not a problem in the midwest. I do see newborn calves in the pastures. The black vulture problem just became known to me as I'm sure a lot of producers didn't just start having this issue, which is was big news in my neighboring state of Kentucky.

Any basic search will describe a raven as BOTH a scavenger and a hunter. Ravens are large, powerful, and intelligent. Bantam chickens are small and a single well place peck to the head can kill them.

If they said they saw an attack on their bird, what's so hard to believe?

At first I thought maybe they called vultures ravens...

I was editing my post while you were evidently typing but for some reason it didn't go through.

Because they are scavengers. I've not seen them attack my chickens, dogs, cats, cow, goats ever. So that's why I asked for a video, seeing is believing.

No Santa Clause! As the raven says, "Never More"!
