So I look out my window and did not see any of my chickens out in their pen, then I see this large bird that I know is not a chicken ready to walk into the coop thru the small door. I ran down into the yard and for sure it is a huge red tail hawk! I called my brother in law to come help me coax him out because the top of the run has strong deer netting stretched across the entire top and is secured with zip ties. I also grabbed my camera in case I have to end up documenting a "problematic hawk" because he is always trying to get in there after them and has killed a lot of my free range birds. Then I see he has already killed and ate my tiny serama roo! He kept flying back and forth trying to get out the way he must have gotten in but would only end up getting caught up in the netting upside down. My brother in law got here and as we were planning on opening up some of the netting to get him out, he all of a sudden made a rush at the upper corner and got out! Hopefully he will have had his full of the close encounter witht he giant humans and not come back soon! Here is a picture of him when he got caught in the netting before he flew to the other side of the pen. Here is a picture and the link is to the video I shot after i gave him a good screaming at about coming around again!
