[FONT=book antiqua,palatino]Here they are at 10 weeks.
Though not visible, there is a line of wire connecting the tops of all fence posts. There is no post-top perching available to hawks. Additionally, each post has baling wire connecting it to the apex of the hen house roof, again...to discourage hawks. [/FONT]
