A real possibility around here. I can usually hear a hawk. Actually we had a fairly large pullet killed last year in our run but it couldn't take off with it because the run was partially roofed with chicken wire.
Thanks for the reply. They finally just went about their business whatever that might be like nothing ever happened. We live out in the country so one never knows. I'm rather hard of hearing so don't know. Very strange. Hope to find out. It surely has happened to someone before. Have a good evening.
All my chickens (ten) in the run stopped moving at the same time and stood stock still for over a minute. All but one looking in the same direction even the one looking elsewhere was stock still. I just wondered what happened.
We have had chickens for 3 plus years and I have neve witnessed this...
