We are wondering if maybe the hawk went after lemon pepper and Rosemary went after the hawk. My mom said it wasn't a very big hawk so it was probably a this year hawk. I just wish our Rooster would have tried to help instead of run away lol. Hes been a good rooster in terms of giving his girls treats and not attacking humans but seems hes well a chicken lol. Hes a decent size boy so I'm sure he would have held his own against it.Very glad to hear it.
I had a hawk attack a few weeks ago. Miraculously I found no sign of injury at all - feathers everywhere but some of those I think belonged to the hawk because my lead hen laid into the hawk while it had a little pullet pinned to the ground.
Frankly we were all in shock.
One pullet flew away and didn't come home until after dark. One froze in place under a bush and wouldn't move until one of the older ones came out to get her.
Three managed to squeeze themselves into a tiny nest box and didn't come out for several hours.
I needed a stiff brandy.
In all seriousness, I don't think they got back to normal for at least 3 days. I am glad your little one is drinking and hopefully will be OK.
