My wife was hanging clothes on the line when she said a very large black buzzard swooped down and grabbed a hen, right in front of her, without showing fear. She said it carried the hen aloft a short distance and bit its head off. I went out there and this is what I found. She insists it was a buzzard, much larger than a hawk. She is adamant. The predator has taken all of my Norwegian Jaerhorns - a small breed. It leaves my Jersey black giants alone.
I have never heard of a buzzard doing this. Can this be true? Can buzzards turn to taking chickens?
