I really hate that; but it proves my point you can do ALL you can possibly do and hawks don't seem to care, they'll risk injury even it seems for an "easy free meal" of chicken.

Most predators are NOT - Fed protected..........unlike BOP - which it seems you ignore as well as much of the discussion , unless you've simply not bothered to read the entire thread. At any rate it's not anyone's fault for raising chickens and it's certainly NOT their fault when they lose their...

Um NO - it has nothing to do with "human concepts" nor "humanizing predators" - there are too many hawks hunting wildlife (you know natural prey) to "cry" natural behavior, simply put it's not natural at all to prey on captive birds. it IS, "easy" therefore lazy birds will do it while the vast...

Shoot, Shovel, Shut up = 3 S ; yes sometimes you MIGHT get a permit, but even then only after you've shown you've taken all the other steps we have outlined in several hawk threads. IF you get the permit, it's limited in both time & scope , so it's not as some seem to think it is even if you...

Well, We keep them, feed them, shelter them, the other animals (except for BOP) can easily be dealt with IF they want to try for free chicken dinners (as was already discussed in length no less) the reality is most hawks don't target chickens, they hunt for wild birds, and other wild natural...

It IS actually/factually true, hawks were around a long time before chickens were domesticated, pray tell HOW did they manage that IF chickens were their natural/main diet?????????? Context always matters IOW

A good electric fence is usually plenty for the 'coons, 'yotes etc. etc. etc. , even a covered run is not always enough for hawks........ the point IS you do all you can do and they still persist (against their nature) to target folk's backyard (often quite small flocks) . NO it's not "their...

:yuckyuck

You can keep stating something over & over, it doesn't make it true and an this case in particular it is simply FALSE.......there are countless threads on here where small flocks have been wiped out by predators; you're calling "misinformation" IS disinformation....... Have a good day I'm not...

LOL, read just above where a poster not only did that but inferred it was "our fault" for raising chickens in hawk territory. I've only lost two prize pullets this year to them before doing everything in my power to make it never happen again (and I "thought" I had them pretty safe already) btw...

There are several legal ways to scare them away and pretty much place the fear of man back into BOP, don't give me "they have to eat too" domestic chickens are NOT their main diet nor were they ever intended to be ; until they became Fed protected it was a death sentence for one to try to have a...
