    Why Do You Use Deep Bedding/Why Do You NOT Use Deep Bedding?

    I use something loosely based on the deep litter method, I clean their poop everyday and put it in a separate bag, I then put clean shavings and diatomaceous earth in its place.

    Hawk attack

    He is very aggressive! He waits until I'm very close to him to fly away he has demonstrated aggressive behavior towards the girls before and I know it's the same hawk, I just don't know how to get rid of him

    Hawk attack

    there must be something wrong with the hawk that I have in my yard, because he is always on the ground, I caught him on the ground peering into the shed where the girls are, he also was standing a few feet away on the ground at another time looking at the coop! I have lots and lots of mealworms...
