I see you're from Ohio. There is a species of vulture that has been extending it's range into Ohio, generally coming in from the south. It's known as the Black Vulture, and it is an active predator. There are documented reports of groups of them attacking and killing newborn calves, I think baby chicks would be a no-brainer for them. Tipp City is north of Vandalia, if I recall correctly, and I'm not sure if they're that far north yet. I subscribe to "Farm and Dairy", a weekly agricultural paper. That's where I first read about them. There may be something on the ODNR website as well.
