    Trees next to run? I want to tell my husband he is wrong

    The chickens will eat the fruut that falls to the ground, so that it doesn't rot; that's a win-win! We have fruit trees... other posts were correct, the hawks don't perch in the trees. We had a hawk problem, from the periphery of the property, the high pines, etc. Hawks hate crows, and the...
