We have a nesting pair of bald eagles less than a mile from our house. They’ve been around for years, and I’ve never lost a chicken to one that I know of. I think they prefer an easier meal like roadkill. We have a big slough across the road from our house, and thousands of geese come through during migration and sit in the slough. Every now and then they get SUPER noisy and they all lift off the water at the same time. That’s because there is an eagle buzzing the slough, looking for a sick or injured goose.
