    Hawk vs. Rooster

    No, I cannot relocate the hawk, I don't have it, and they fly, so there's no way to keep them in one place.

    Thanks everyone for your help! I really appreciate it! I'll put out some more bushes, and see if I can get some of those fancy hawk repellent things, and I'll let you all know how it plays out!

    Built nesting boxes - they lay on floor!

    Two roos IS asking for trouble, how many hens do you have? If you have less than 15 hens, you should definitely get rid of one, but keep the other, but if you want to start new, get a black Amerucana.
