What Bird of Prey is this?

Vulture. Nasty birds, but no threat.

It's a bit tricky to identify the bird from the video- but I'm guessing you have a turkey vulture. Vultures mostly live off of carrion (road kill, hunter's scraps, sickly) and aren't of threat to poultry. Guinea fowl have a certain history, relating almost to the New World 'vulturine'... so I wouldn't call them a bird of prey, to living livestock or poultry.
Vultures have a pretty distinct wing pattern when flying overhead. Their primary feathering it half colored white, the rest of the bird being a shade of brown.
Cornell may be of help to you. I'm afraid I can't find my own picture.

Another interesting thing about them is that they don't have feathering on their heads. This is what keeps them from catching disease such as botulism and salmonella from their food. So you don't extremely have to worry about them bringing sickness to your flock.

With the video and what you described with colouring I’d say black vulture. Turkeys have more of a red skinned head.

I agree with everyone else. Definately a breed of vulture. If you want to be more certain take a walk around and see if you can find some feathers. You will have a more positive identification that way.

Turkey Vulture. Black Vultures flap almost like a bat because wings forward swept.

I am not 100% sure, but I'd agree that it is some sort of vulture. I have read on BYC that Black Vultures can be predatory. Turkey Vultures are not a threat, but Black Vultures might be. You might want to research.

I hope it's a Turkey Vulture...

TV for sure, they also always wobble when they soar, it makes them super easy to identify from far off

This is a wing feather of a turkey vulture

From rewatching the video I think its just a turkey vulture. The tail is too long, fly pattern isnt right and you can not see its feet so its not a black vulture

I agree, a vulture.
