It seems five months is a long time to be scared, that's what's odd.

Hi Adalida, My husband and I work from home and we visit our chickens a few times a day, to feed and say hello. I've never seen anything out of the ordinary. Nobody in our commune has an aggressive dog. They do seem spooked but you'd think if they saw a hawk they'd be over it by now. Also, the...
