Predator

Isaw these two when I took my walk.  They try to freeze and think it keeps me from seeing them.   

Astrid has chicks in this brooder.  A hawk lands on top wanting to get the chicks.  I let my chickens out each day.  A coyote or fox caught one in broad daylight.  Now I only have 7 chickens.  Astrid is going to gift me 5 pullets.

It could have been a hawk that got your chicken. One time Cliff and I actually saw a hawk swoop down and grab my rooster, but he could only get him about 3 feet off the ground and dropped him. He should have picked out a smaller chicken.

My chickens are too heavy to have been picked up by a hawk I think, but it might have been if he pinned it to the ground.
