I also lost 3 chicks to a cunning hawk a few days ago, so mother Frizzle and her remaining 4 are in the abandoned quail pen. I have done my best to properly snake proof it but it seems that there is an excess of predators about at the moment.
I found the white goshawk camped on top of the slw hutch yesterday. Found the sling shot and ' dead eye dick ' ( hubby ) managed to bounce one off the limb at his feet. That sent him packing. I couldn't hit the side of a barn , Mr hawk just laughs at me. Dropping off some of the slw to a lady this morning, that's a few less for the hawk to salivate over.
