Somthing killed my Full grown Royal palmTom last night.

SO I let my Full Grown Tom out of his pen yesterday to start his free ranging life, The Hen is still in the pen sitting on eggs. Well I went to check on him with the kids this morning and I found feathers in one of the fields, a little bit away's from where I left him last night, I then started to find huge feather piles, and then I found him on the edge of the field, Upper body real bloody bottom half un touched poor guy. I am guessing it had to be a decent sized animal to get him that far. Poor guy first night free ranging and hes gone.

Oh no! I would guess it was a large predator maybe even a dog. So sorry you lost your boy.

I am guessing some thing larger also like a Coyote or a dog, Poor boy first night on his own and he is gone, I was not expecting this and least not that quick.
