    I lost 4 hens this spring to a goss hawk! Small puff of feathers left behind and no blood or parts. No tracks either. We saw the hawk a few times around the coop. They will take their pray and stick them up in a tree to eat later!

    I love this coop! I will be raising meat chickens again this spring and hopefully a few turkeys too. I was looking for something inexpensive and easy to move to house them, and also to be able to move them around so they can do a little foraging and to eliminate the need for bedding! I think...
