a hawk probably wouldnt go inside a hen house but if the hens were scattered everywhere when you get home this could be it. I had a huge problem with hawks with chickens missing and such so i have orchard netting all across my pens.
Currently have a hen who is 9 years old. The same age as my little sister haha! very lovely hen one of my favourites do miss her double yolk eggs though
