I have 16 jersey giant chicks that are 6 weeks now, and as soon as they reach adult size, I am planning to send them free range in my 1 acre yard. We have loads of crickets and scorpions each year and wish them to clean these pests up. Anyhow, I am worried about hawks, they fly around the yard, but have read that easy targets are bantams and small breed, but will hawks still try to attack large chickens like Jerseys? I have 2 roosters so far to protect them and my covered patio and coop to go to if they feel threatened.
