I live in the city of Atlanta and my wife called me yesterday and said a hawk swooped into our tiny back yard while she was watering the plants with the chickens, and grabbed one of our 12 week old pullets. Ripped a good amount of feathers out but my wife said she kicked the hawk off our pullet. I asked her to say that again and she said the hawk did not want to leave so she kicked it. She said it flopped about a minute then flew up into an oak tree which is in the yard next door. After a few minutes the hawk flew off.
Will hawks attack full grown standards as well? The one that was ruffled is an Easter Egger.
Wife said all 7 would not come out from under the bushes along the fence, even when tempted with watermelon and crickets, their favorites.
