Yes, there has been heavy hawk activity lately, and they are all on edge.
What has me wondering about this sudden change is his hens.
I have noticed lately that he is being more aggressive towards some of the hens.
We I say aggressive I mean he makes them squat after mating. If they get up to shake he gets after them and does the whole thing again.
I witnessed this happen only 2 times so far. So this could be just a rare occurrence.
I walked through him several times today, and no problems.
One thing I noticed that he came running towards me when my sunglasses fell from the top of my head to the middle of my face.
I will try to see if there is a reaction to having the sunglasses on in the coop.
Not really sure I can tell or not.
I am going to check him out tonight after dark.
I had my daughters birthday yesterday and was preoccupied and didn’t get out there to check him.
