I believe here in NH we can shoot them any time of year. My husband found the feather pile from the impact of a hawk in he leach field where they hang out during the day, no sign of the smaller chick or the roo and I have seen several hawks in trees at the same time in the past in the yard, so my guess is hawk.

I may be confused... but be careful shooting hawks, they are a Federally protected species... HEAVY FINES!

Yes Dave...you are confused! LOL If you re-read the post, you will see we are talking about shooting coyotes and foxes! hahahahaa! I was saying that I believe in NH, we dont have to wait for a hunting season to shoot coyote as they do in Mass. as she was saying about the trapping them. It IS illegal to trap, kill or even harass raptors (birds of prey) anyplace in the USA, but they in turn can harass, kill and maim our chickens and ducks. I am not sure about the rest of you, but last time I counted just in my local travels, thee seem to be an over abundance of them rebounding from their protected status. I had read on another thread a case in which someone got a special permit to "dispose" of a hawk that had actually attacked her grandaughter (?) and scratched the kids face.

They are very tame.

Yeah but these are both boys;)
 
Not the best pics I know, but does anyone have a feeling as to roo or pullet on this 4 month old blue silkie? I think pullet but I'd like to know what others think.

I missed the swaps this past weekend, but I have a few SQ call and BEI ducks for sale and can bring them to Ingleside (or meetup somewhere else sooner). Check my sale thread for lots of pics.

I want them to go to a good home, and they're so pretty (and good quality) I hope someone will want to show or breed them!
 
I say pullet too. If I remember correctly, at that age my rooster had the fluffier tail with the "leads" sticking out of it.
 
I took in 20 layer hens from a battery cage operation almost 2 months ago,The hens are 1 year old golden comets? I believe,they had been living in a crawl space basement with not even a lighbulb or window they were bald but have started getting feathers back they have all been debeaked but are eating and laying just fine.I wormed them and de mited them. I am looking to just get back the purchase price of $7 each if anyone is interested. I will only bring them if theres interest because they still dont have all their feathers in and I dont want to stress them if I dont have too.
