I guess you won't be asking @Latestarter out for a date. He didn't win the lottery, so no piles of $100 bills to wrap himself up in.

Guess he's going to have to dig up his undies that he buried in the garden since he doesn't have $100 bills to wear.

Well, Im mad. 
Just got home and went out to feed the chickens when I heard a commotion and saw one of those buzzards flying off. 
Looked around and found a pile of feathers near the fence. It got one of my young Lakenvelders. So noe I only have 3 left. 
Just lost one couple days ago from drowning, and lost one of my Orlofs same way.
Things happen in threes right?
So right now they are all locked up in the enclosed dog kennel that is covered chicken wire. They will have to stay in there during the day.
I hate those things.

Are you sure the buzzard did the deed, and wasn't just cleaning up after something else?

Yep. Im pretty sure because I saw chickens running and found some others trying to hide under some 4 x 4s. Ive had problems with these things before. Ive lost over a dozen chickens to them. One day I came home to find one in my pasture eating what was left of a chicken it took.
My neighbor has lost almost all of his chickens to these nasty things. Thats why I got the big chain link panels and covered it with wire. I hsd gotten some netting but didnt feel it would stop a dive bombing bird. Guess they will have to stay locked up.

Those black vultures are predators. I mentioned once that a sheep farmer near us stopped raising sheep since he was losing so many lambs to them. My dogs killed a possum in my main field the other day and I moved it closer to the house so it's in shotgun range.

I sure would like to blast them into oblivion, but I dont have a permit. Plus, Im a lousy shot. Otherwise, Id take out as many as I could.
I know a guy who has shot alot of them and doesnt have a permit. He owns 600 acres and says he can shoot whatever he wants nobody is going to see him.
Its a shame your neighbor had to stop raising sheep because of them. Alot of the cattle farmers around here hate them because they will eat a calf coming out of the mother at birthing.
I hope your possum bait works.
