I am wondering if anyone has ever lost a chick to a vulture. We are in very rural northern MI and 2 days ago my husband saw a vey large black bird hanging out by our coop and run. Later that day, my son witnessed that same large black bird (4ish foot wing span) smack its wings on the ground and try to take one of our 2 week old chicks. The broody momma was FIERCE and the giant bird dropped the chick after a scuffle with the momma. She has been free ranging with them for the last week or so, but never too far from the coop. The poor baby didn’t make it, had a puncture wound under the wing . We have bald eagles, several different hawks, owls etc. but I’ve never heard of a Turkey vulture stalking chicks. Should I be on the lookout for something else?? Neither one of them could really figure out for sure what species of bird it was.
