Welp, something got our Wyandotte sometime between yesterday evening and this afternoon. We’ve had the whole head chewed off, missing chicken, etc. but nothing quite like this. We found this girl in the middle of the pasture they run on (our chickens are about as free-range as they can be). Usually they are in the barn at night, so I’m wondering if this happened early this morning maybe. She was on her side, head and neck intact (neck did not seem broken), but her bones had pretty much been pecked clean on one side. Only the heart (I think) was left. The carcass was still wet and she wasn’t stiff, so that’s another reason I wondered if it happened earlier this morning. We had another chicken go missing with no sign of her a few nights ago. Neighbors say they’ve heard owls in the trees above their house, but I don’t know the signs of an owl attack. No tracks around that I could see since it was soft sand. Any idea what this could be?
