    I looked out the window this morning and saw a beautiful hawk sitting on the chicken coop. I was admiring its beauty when I realized it was checking out a way to get my girls. Thankfully they're in a fully covered & enclosed run with an attached coop. I usually let them free range in the...

    Feeding scraps/Seeking answer to settle a friendly bet
