I don't think either will take a live chicken. I know they will take small critters like mice. When brush hogging or mowing/raking hay there will be lots of them following ya.

I have never seen that white triangle. I do know that one quick way to tell if hawk or eagle is that hawk is light on the under side eagle is all dark. Also buzzards will only take what is dead. So if ya have buzzards circling ya better check to see. We had 10 of em out in our field once so I went to see what it was and I found the remains of some body's cat.
Here's a little funny for ya. DW was setting in the yard last summer. I walked up and she points to the sky and says what are those. I look up and there are 6 buzzards circling. I said BUZZARDS ya might wanna get up and move around a bit! So now that is the thing around here when we see em.
The light triangle is on the underside of a vulture's wings.
It runs from the shoulder, down towarrds the tail, (the arm pit area) to a point where the end joint is on the wing, and back towards the shoulder again.
It is a long stretched gray-white triangle.
