Hahaha, I smacked one of those.....hahaha. I still have the vivid picture in my head of looking up and seeing a hawk in my face.

We didn't order one. We ordered 6 hens and Meyers sent 5 hens and a rooster. I guess at a day old, it's very hard to sex them. Luckily, our neighbors like him and think it's cute.

Wow. I used to like seeing them until I got chickens. Yesterday, the flock wanted out really bad, so I followed them around with a 2’ long 2x4. I’m not playing, Mr Hawk.

You should put one IN the coop. Best tv show I've ever seen...

Ah, good to know. Beastie has little baby spurs at the moment, they are all almost 5 months old.

Oh geez, that's scary. I'm gonna take that tennis racquet outside from now on. Seems like they have their routine down. Yeah, my rooster is still quite young, he has tiny little baby spurs right now. I'm glad it didn't come to that.

So scary. Did you tear the hawk off of him? My rooster, who runs at the hawk, is young. They’re all the same age and he only has small spur nubs right now. I was impressed by his instinct though. Kinda makes up for him being a bit of a sexual predator to the hens. Do the hawks try and carry...

Like the Womping Willow tree from Harry Potter.

You mean Beastie, my rooster? He ran towards it.

And sets it to music.

Tractor Supply needs to come out with a backyard chicken protection version of the Star Wars defense system to intercept incoming flying predators...

It was certainly chasing her down. I'm just happy she ran towards me and not out in the driveway or yard.

Hahaha. I'm sure they wish they were that cool.

We still have leaves coming down. Oak leaves were in the air everywhere, I imagine it’s harder to see a threat when so much is moving. Our rooster looks like he was running to help her. That’s sweet.

Hopefully, everything turned out okay with yours last week!

It doesn’t seem too large, does it? I’ve heard they are very strong though. Don’t know what he was going to do. I doubt he could’ve lifted her. Maybe he was a young one. Just so glad she ran towards me and not out into the yard. And I did feel it for about 30 mins. I was more concerned with...

Wow. Good for you. Maybe I’ll stand out there with a tennis racquet when I let them free range. Any tips on scaring them away? Those owls that move? Hanging cds?

I’m not above that.

You had quite a war! Mine was so fast and sudden. I really hope he shops elsewhere for his dinner.

Hahaha. Fisticuffs.
