A Coopers Hawk killed my EE today. I was at the window and rushed outside but chicken was dead. He tried to carry her off but she was too heavy or he was scared since I was yelling and coming at him with a broom. Mine will be locked up from now on as this was the second one this hawk has killed.
I am the proud Momma of 4 hens and looking for two more as that is the legal number I can keep in Smithfield, VA. (no roos). I kept chickens about 4 years ago but moved a few times and am now just getting back into it. I love to learn about them so that I can do the best to keep my girls happy...
