    Good tips, and of course the chicken the hawk made an attempt on was buff Orpington!

    Hawk attempt-how long do i wait?

    Thank you for all these thoughts, they are wonderful tips! I think my chickens sound like they are attuned to predators according to your questions. But I still might invest in a mobile coop/run, that way they get some range time in new spots.

    Sounds like I need to invest in a lot of peanuts 😆

    That’s good to know, though I don’t think I’ve seen any crows in my yard

    Hawk attempt-how long do i wait?

    Yes, we definitely have hawks in the area but we’ve been blissfully unbothered, which I always attributed to the fact that I have a lot of trees with leaf coverage and only 5 chickens. I’ve probably been stupid, and lucky. Any tips on how to keep hawks away?

    GM, a hawk made an attempt on one of my chickens while they were free ranging, and I was outside with them, around 15 feet away. How long should I wait before I allow them to free range again (I.e., before the hawk either forgets they saw a chicken in my backyard or just moves on)?

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    Hello Marylanders, I have inadvertently ended up with a beautiful French Black Copper Maran (he was supposed to be a she), and he’s now around 14 weeks. I’m not going to be able to keep him since MoCo doesn’t allow roosters. The hatchery I got him from assured me they’d take him back, but I’m...

    Breed identification

    Hello, Hoping I can get some views from this knowledgeable community. I got this baby chick the day she was born, April 12, and she was sold to me as a blue laced red Wyandotte. Now that she is 11 weeks old, she’s looking more like a golden laced Wyandotte to me-thoughts? One of the photos I’ve...

    FBCM - hoping for a hen 🤞🤞🤞

    Ok, thank you @The Moonshiner @BoundlessLove and @wrathsfarm. Not the news I wanted but I suspected as much. Now a question of advice, I got two chicks on 4/12 (born that day), a BLRW and a FBCM. The first FCBM passed at 8 days old. Got a replacement chick on 4/23 so Millie, the BLRW wouldn’t be...

    FBCM - hoping for a hen 🤞🤞🤞

    Hi All, Here are some pics of my 19 day old French black copper marans, whom I’ve named Gigi. Today I noticed what look like waddles coming in, has anyone heard of a hen having waddles come in early??? This is the second FBCM chick I’ve gotten as the first one died from failure to thrive and I...
