Well, I finally found out where the attack happened - right around the outbuildings where they like to hang out. I found a couple of Barred Rock feathers (from my poor, pathetic looking hen that was on my list of birds to cull anyway), and a lot of downy feathers and a few actual feathers from my rooster. So, my guess is something grabbed the hen and he tried to protect her. Darn! I mean, I'd have felt sorry for the hen, too, but she's going to get culled anyway... No sign of a carcass, though, so it was either the dog and he hid it (still can't rule that out), or maybe it was a hawk that killed during the day and something else carried it off. I suppose it could have been a land predator that's not the dog. I'll likely never know.
