    Hawks! How do I keep them away?

    I'm in the process of looking for a rooster now. We've talked about getting one so that we don't have to replace our chickens by buying new ones. It was suggested to me to try BYC and see if anyone was looking to re-home one. I've looked around and there are a few available, but they aren't what...

    Hawks! How do I keep them away?

    Thank you again. I think I'm dealing with Cooper Hawks. I've looked up a few things. One thing that will help is not letting them out first thing in the am. I was letting them out around 7-7:30.

    Hawks! How do I keep them away?

    I have a huge backyard (almost an acre) that is fenced in and we let the chickens free range everyday. I've noticed hawks before, but this morning while I was out there one came down and tried to take a chicken (I have 8 amber links). She got away, but the hawk didn't stay away and came back...
