I thought for sure that she was the one the hawk had attacked but as soon as I got over to her she got up and wattled away 
I re-homed her to a safer home so she might have a better chance at surviving
I want a broody momma, but I'll try out a Banty Cochin before I even look at a Silkie again!
This is the little troublesome Yeti

She's adorable! I would love to have her.
Silkies, one Banty, two Nigerian Goats, Arabian Horse, German Shepard, 3 small dogs, fish and birds.
