Question:  Has anyone else out there in bird land ever heard of  owls 
eating chickens by starting with the head and working their way  down?




Jim,
 I have heard this, but I don't know where or how long ago. I do  remember 
this being a hallmark of Great Horned Owl, though.
 
I can probably check some of my owl references...
