My funniest chicken story:
So, I have a depressed rooster,roadrunner, because all my hens are dead from Hawks. I went to go cheer him up with...dun dun dun A LAZER POINTER!:D He followed it all the way down stairs and was pecking and chasing away...
Yes we have figured out we are going to build them a big run outside their coop. We currently don't have enough money to build it though. No hawk has gone after my little boy,Roadrunner, so can we still let him free range? He doesn't have his Spurs yet and he's only about 6-7 months old.
I'm not quite sure but she was always the runt of the bunch. That hawk has been after her for a while and I insisted on keeping them inside their coop. I couldn't leave them in there forever though so I let her out and she was fine. My rooster, Roadrunner, always keeps an eye on her but today...
Yes . So I have learned. From when you first let them outside up till they r about a year the Hawks are a threat. Not so much when they are adults. I've already had 3 RIRs of mine get snatched up by a hawk when they were 4-7 months old. :/
