Second Opinion on what killed our Guinea Hen?(GRAPHIC)

[MysteryChicken]

Hello, I found one of our Guinea Hens dead/partially eaten, feathers everywhere. She was practically in the middle of the yard when I found her, but took her out for pictures, since I needed to get my phone.

I'm thinking maybe a Raccoon.

What killed our Guinea?

Looks like a raptor kill to me.

I think a hawk, I'm sorry

I agree, some bird of prey

If the attack happened during the day it was a bird of prey. A racoon would have quite a challenge catching a Guinea in broad daylight
If the kill happened at night and the guineas are not locked inside a secure coop, then coon or owl was likely.

Is it’s head missing if so I was a coon, they only eat the head and maybe a little of something else.

My heart aches for you.

My heart aches for you.

I have no emotional bond with the Guineas, they're my dad's birds. Chickens are where my heart is.

But, my heart aches regardless. Thats such a brutal attack and I bet your Dad feels bad. After all they are beautiful birds.
