Develop a taste for Hawk?
I had a close call with a very large hawk myself. My girls were coming in getting ready to roost for the night and a very large hawk flew very low over the run checking things out. She was so large that I am sure she would have no problem taking a standard sized bird. I read on this site about "Hawk Tepee's" in the yard.
I now have three Hawk Tepee's placed strategically throughout and my girls have a place to run if they have any kind of warning. I don't know if this will save their lives, but, I am willing to try anything. My Tepee's are made out of old pallets and covered with weeds, sticks, hay and grass. They are anchored down with filled jugs of water attached with string. My tepees are just high enough off the ground that the big girls can run in quick. I am also installing fake crows and an owl.
