Grown bird. I’m guessing hawk or cat? Killed during the daytime. There is no cover over their run. I’ve lost 6 birds recently. I put my camera up yesterday after this( obviously too late).[Linked Image]

I went on eBay and bought a fishing net to stretch over my runs to keep the hawks and owls out… works great and is cheap

A hawk will leave a circle of feathers
A owl will eat mostly the head
This is the job of a possom or coon but most likely a possum

Daytime?
There were feathers everywhere, I forgot to post of picture of them. A clump of them in one spot and then some scattered

That was a hawk. Ran one out of our pasture a couple of days ago and this looks just like what was left laying there.

Don't think it was a possum if it was during the day .
