    Was it a hawk?

    We came home today and found our hens hiding on one side of the yard and our rooster in a pile of his feathers, killed on the other side of the yard. He had a large wound near his thigh and that was it. No bleeding really. I feel like if I had found him sooner, we might could have saved him...

    Help! Hawk Problem!

    We have a big hawk problem going on right now! We have had chickens for about a year now and we have never lost a chicken to any predator until recently. We just hatched 9 chicks from a broody hen and that is what started attracting this hawk. He is huge and is probably big enough to catch our...

    Grooming out feathers?

    My chickens recently got attacked by a hawk, they're both fine but very stressed. They haven't left their coop since. They lost feathers in the attack and so I didn't really look into their feathers thinking out. I saw Pearl grooming her wing and a feather came loose and she kept grooming till...

    Yikes! Hawk dive-bomb?

    Was letting the ladies out to free range this morning and as soon as they were out of the pen, a hawk came out of nowhere and dive-bombed them. Should I be worried that this guy is going to be coming back looking for lunch? He was not very big but definitely a hawk. Do hawks go after full size...
