You know that you are addicted to chickens when......your boyfriend buys you...
A hawk came down and got both of my white leghorns. Since then I only let my girls free range when myself and the dog are in the backyard. I still see the hawks, but they don't dare come down. Also, I bought deer netting and placed that over their range area.
OMG I love your pictures!!! I have one silkie and I want another! She doesn't really fit in with the rest of the flock! (The other girls are twice her size.)
I had issues with foxes and hawks. We lost 3 and a half hens. (I say half because a fox tried to attack my Silkie but she fought hard and got her wing torn off. Shes happy and healthy today!) We bought 2 dog kennels, added about a foot of chicken wire on the bottom and put netting on the top...
