No problem and sorry I didn't reply sooner. :( but yeah, that makes sense. I can definitely understand that, it makes sense the suffering part is the worst. Would be for most I think. And you know, it's completely normal to be upset about it. If it had been a cat or a dog, people wouldn't...

I am so so sorry you lost your dear bird!! Especially in such a horrific way. :( Don't apologize for the length, it is definitely helpful as I never would have even thought of that! I am sorry it had to be.learned in such a harsh way though. :( Hawks seem terrible though. So many.

That was a beautiful post/dedication? Memoir? Dark water and again I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find more Swedish Flowers and perhaps I can get one one day

We have a family of hawks too :( I'll definitely keep an eye out for injuries too That's awesome the cows and donkeys chase them off!

We have a lot of similar predators but I feel like supervised and.with lots of protection they should be okay. Plus some of them are more nocturnal predators. The dogs should help being so big haha but then again they may not be able to stop it

I read red tails usually don't go after adult chickens and mostly hunt mammals and stuff? Is that true you think?

I can understand that!! And thanks, I hope so too! Two jumped off myleg or fell when i was sitting with them earlier (on the toilet so I was lower but don't worry not using it lol) and i was really worried cause it's at least a foot and they landed on tile but they seemed perfectly fine after...

Not sure it's easy to prepare/probably still comes as a shock but I will definitely try. But yeah, they seem like they're so happy to be able to run around and be a chicken. And you're definitely right about the dirt because they ruin it very quickly. Plus I feel like even if you have a huge...

I definitely agree so I think I'm going to do it. Besides, a big reason I got them is because we have plenty of space with almost 3 acres. I'll definitely have to plant some plants and add shelters. Gonna be hard if i do lose any cause they're also pets but i figure it's worth it or maybe with...

Wow that's awful! Must have been especially hard with him right there. I'm so sorry :(

That definitely makes sense. I wish we could get a rooster, they're so handsome and I always hear how protective they are. :/ And a steak dinner sounds like a great reward! Lol

That's great your dog was able to chase them off!! :) we're not getting roos but I'm sure the females will make a warning call too and he can pick up on it or I will teach him a separate one.

Out of curiosity, what are the other two? But wow, that doesn't seem that heavy considering how big their wings and everything are. That makes sense because I've never been out west but I always thought they were smaller birds. I held one at a fair one time, they're huge. The two are Golden...

Dogs must see their territory as the ground haha ours is meant to bark too, half Great Pyrenees, an LGD, though also half Lab and sometimes chases smaller birds but doesn't care about hawks lol that sucks though, sorry. :( But oh wow, I had no idea they were so determined!! That's a bit scary...

Really? Wow, aren't they smaller? That makes sense. I think what I saw were red tails. Would shelter, like an igloo or plywood, etc. And shrubs work for them then? I forgot it was migration season too, that probably explains why there's so many. Don't think we've ever had eagles. That's good...

Just saw two HUGE hawks circling and I've been seeing them a lot lately. Maybe an even bigger one yesterday. Gorgeous birds. Until they attack a chicken. Just heard coyotes the other day too. Makes me nervous about free ranging though. Maybe I'll just keep the chickens in the run haha Do you...
