Hey Guys,
We lost a chicken this morning. We loose a couple every year to hawks, but this one is different. I saw the feathers and went out to investigate right before noon. I saw something black running on teh opposite side of our pine wind break where the killing occured.
I just assumed it was our black barn cat clipping another sparrow, until I found more feathers and the body under a tree.
The head/neck were pretty much cleaned to the bone with no other marks on the bird. Usually hawks will tear them up wherever they can get ahold of them.
I don't think our cat killed a full grown (and mean) hen. It may have just been there as a coincedence. Or it wasn't a cat, it was gone by the time I got around the trees. Will weasles hunt in the daytime?? The first thing I thought was a fisher, but I haven't heard of them around here since I was a kid.

Always had plenty of time
