Hi. I live in middle Tennessee surrounded by trees. Hawks are my big problem…at least they were.. they are not now, thanks to a friend who told me his secret. He has ducks and chickens on a large lot. He told me to use disco balls on shepherds hooks. I did, and haven’t seen a hawk since! After...

This afternoon I watched a wonderful sight. The only chick born to one of my broodies, couldn’t jump from the coop to the steep below. It was too high. As I watched Maude, his mom, went over and talked to him. She then went up to the step and leaned against the coop. She told the chick to jump...
