After Eagle carries off a chick, Hen warns her chicks whenever Eagle appears; they say they will run.
Eagle catches and carries away one of Hen's chicks as payment for the missing needle. The loss is direct, though the story does not describe injury.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
