Muscovies, geese and red tail hawks

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

Are adult muscovies geese bothered by red tail hawks or are they too big?

I guessno one has any muscovies or geese.

The hawks leave my adult geese alone. Yes I personally would still be concerned about your scovies.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

I have a pair nesting in the tree above my scovie pen.  They don't bother the adults, but I would be wary of the little ones.

I am having a horrible problem with red tails taking my chickens (as many as two a day). I am just trying to see if there are other birds that are less of a temptaion for hawks.
