Well I just had my first lose due to a red tailed hawk. I’ve seen one hanging around over the past couple weeks. Also a huge owl stalking around. I look out my window and see an enormous hawk on the ground near my smaller pen. I ran out and it flew off. On the ground where it had been were a million feathers and the headless body of my momma silkie hen. She just got done hatching 6 beautiful silkie sizzle chicks. She was the sweetest, gentlest, loving little girl. I hate that it’s illegal to protect our birds from predators like this. If anyone has any suggestions on how to keep hawks away please please let me know. I am keeping all my birds locked up till I can be sure it’s moved on.
