Just had a hawk hit, get one my girls and give up. Feathers are everywhere… but all my white girls are present, so he gave up. I actually saw white feathers floating down to the ground… about 15 feet up!
Checking the feathers, there is only one girl whose feathers are … not normal. I’m going to check her shortly, but I think the hawk just got a fistful of feathers. Interestingly, the first hit came near my wild bird feeder.
Rooster had given the alarm and was protecting about 7 or 8 of them.
Question: I have a rooster flock (kept separately) of three. Should I turn one of them out with the girls? That would be two roosters for about 10+ girls.
Almost forgot: will he be back as he’s had a near miss?
