What took my silkie?

I discovered that one of my silkie roosters went missing today. I looked for two hours with no clear answers in what took my silkie. The only thing that was strangle was a old hen that never moves was up a tree. My other chickens are fine, just wondering what took my silkie?

If not tracks or signs I say a flying predator. Eagle or Hawk maybe.

But I thought they would leave feathers? He was also in a area with lots of little trees

Sorry about your silkie Sultan. Predation sucks.

Yeah, my luck with silkies sucks! My first one died, second one had bubbles in it's eyes and this one has been kidnapped. The trap is set tonight though.

I'm sorry for your loss

Good luck with finding out who the predator is.

Yeah, if I don't find out who it is tonight all my other chickens will not be let out.

Silkies because they dont have much for feathers, but more fluff, I wouldnt think a snatch and grab of an overhead predator would leave any feathers.
